Providence Latin American Film Festival

Original Episode Summary:
The world is a big place with big ideas and lots and lots of music. That is the tagline of Sonic Watermelons, but remove the word music and replace it with movies, and we might be talking about the Providence Latin American Film Festival (PLAFF), coming up in September. Today on Sonic Watermelons, we talk more about PLAFF with Programming Coordinator and Treasurer Ron Crosson and Sonic Watermelons' own Jose Ramirez, who is serving in his first year as Co-Director of the festival.
What does the process look like to move from attending and consuming the culture and media at a film festival to curating, selecting and arranging the pieces of a festival? What is the process used to select a film and how do you get a team onto the same page? And what is the purpose of PLAFF and future direction of the organization and event? We'll talk about this and more TODAY on Sonic Watermelons, Tuesday, August 23, 2016.

More Info About the Guest, Topics and/or Podcast:
West Elmwood Housing Development Corporation started in 1970 as a source of affordable housing and has evolved over the years into community development. Housing is more than just four walls and a roof. West Elmwood HDC addresses the physical housing needs as well as the environmental wellness, health, and social needs of the people it serves. A more recent offshoot of this is the Sankofa World Market. The Sankofa World Market has had two successful seasons where the community has access not only to ethnically relevant fresh foods but local artisans and resources.
