Tributo a Diego Rivera Sponsored by Mexican Tourism Board

Due to circumsances beyond our control, and much to our chagrin, the filmmakers of "A Portrait of Diego" have decided to not participate in this years festival. This has led us to cancel this movie and events related to their visit. As a result our good friend and filmmaker Rick Tejada Flores has offered us two of his great films: "Orozco: Man of Fire " and "Rivera in America." Both great portraits of two great Mexican muralists and their impact upon the world. Which we will show in Redwood City and Sacramento. We are canceling the San Francisco Art Institute Event and will give those who have bought tickets a full refund. Our apologies.
