    The 1st Annual San Francisco Immigrant Film Festival will be screening works that explore a wide array of issues facing the global immigrant community. These works showcase the lives of immigrants, exiles, and their pursuit of equality and social justice.

    A divided family get together around the fence between USA-Mexico.

    SEXUAL EXILES 31mins, Irene Sosa, HD, USA 1999, Doc.

    This video explores the impossibility of returning home for lesbians and gays once they have “come out” while living in exile.

    389 MILES LIVING THE BORDER, 56mins, Luis Carlos Davis, DV, USA 2009, Doc. It presents the raw, daily life of human beings who come from different backgrounds and ideologies when it comes to immigration.

    Just in time for the next credit crunch and as the main cultural institutions of the country, in panic, join forces with the corporate media to save their culo, POW!POW! POW! arrives once again to the scene as uncompromising and independent as ever.

    Appealing to a primal desire of free expression without limits, POW!POW! POW! is, today, one of the few remaining uncensored performance festivals in the US. As major art institutions continue to play it safe and impose their political agendas on the artists, POW! POW! POW! declares, once and for all, total freedom of expression with no limits and no strings attached.

    Now an internationally renowned festival, this third edition of the original POW! will bring together an array of local and international multigenerational action artists more willing to ask for forgiveness than for permission.

    Designed and run by artists, this year’s festival was irreverently curated by co-founders Alyssa Lee, gal*in_dog aka Guillermo Galindo and Guillermo Gómez Peña.
