12 PROUDLY INVESTING IN OUR COMMUNITY MEDIA ARTS PROGRAM AT SONOMA VALLEY HIGH SCHOOL Launched in 2002, by SIFF, this program continues to churn out the next generation of filmmakers, digital artists and broadcasting professionals. Under direction of Peter Hansen with state-of-the-art equipment provided by SIFF, the media lab is known as one of the best high school media programs in California. Students create approximately 15 brilliant short films which are screened to packed houses during the SIFF. Dozens of students go on to enroll in top film schools (UCLA, USC, SF State, CCA ) and pursue careers in the film and media industry. Many return to SIFF to premiere their films. MIDDLE SCHOOL WORKSHOPS AT THE BOYS & GIRLS CLUB OF SONOMA In addition to high school programs, SIFF conducts weekend video workshops for local middle school students, introducing underserved kids to careers and courses of study in film. A partnership with The Intel Club House provides facilities and use of equipment year round. VAMOS AL CINE PROGRAM SIFF is expanding its commitment to the Latino community and attendees by showcasing Spanish language films at Booker Hall of the La Luz Cultural Center. This fiesta with the festival was initiated in 2012 and was so well-received that we are continuing and expanding. Top films will also be screened at other venues within the 5 day festival. sonomafilmfest.org PAGE 11
