CineMujer Film Festival

It nice to know someone reads the blog! I had a staff member and work study come into my office this morning to pick-up a PACfest medal. There is still one left on my desk!

This week, Palo Alto College, in conjunction with the Esperanza Peace & Justice Center, are presenting the 3rd annual CineMujer Film Festival in celebration of Women's History Month. Tonight will be the Opening Reception at 6 p.m. at the Esperanza Center located at 922 San Pedro Ave. PAC is contributing to the opening festivities by arranging catering by Las Cazuelas featuring chicken flautas, chips and salsa, guacalmole and queso, and aguas frescas. The reception and admittance to the film screenings are FREE and open to the public.

If you can't make it to the Esperanza Peace & Justice Center, several films will be shown on the PAC campus.
