Doc Talks - Bicycle Island (A donde nos lleva)

In June of last year, here at the film office we organized and presented the California Capital Documentary Film Festival. It was our first year and all in all, the festival went of without a hitch, well maybe a hitch or two but was enjoyed by all who attended. We presented around 60 documentary film  over three days and we learnt some lessons along the way.

 

Well the time has come for the Second Annual California Capital International Documentary Film Festival which this year will take place on Saturday, Sept 30 and Sunday, Oct 1.

 

We will screen over 50 films at three screening locations. Two of the screening locations will be at Rancho Cordova City Hall (yes we turn City Hall into a movie theatre) and the third, at Cal Cap Black Box Theater which is next door to our offices in Rancho Cordova.

 

We are very excited about the films selected this year and amongst them are 23 films from 23 different countries from around the world so truly an “International Film Festival”.

 

Over the next 6 weeks or so leading up to the festival, we will be presenting a series of shows every Friday that will feature the documentaries we are showing. We will talk with the filmmakers about their films, and the host for this series of shows will be two of the young guys who work with us here at the film office, Daniel Aniceto and Rafael Portillo, both are avid filmmakers and understand the process of making films.

 

I think you will find theses shows interesting and informative.

 

If you’d like to find out more about the documentary film festival please visit our website at www.Calcapdocfest.org where you will find information on all the films we are screening, view the trailers, check out the screening schedule, get information on the screening locations, and look at the various packages we have as far as getting tickets which we have purposefully kept very low and affordable.

 

So please sit back and be inspired by these weeks interviews with our documentary film makers. I hope you enjoy the show and we hope to see you at the California Capital International Documentary Film Festival
