    Being selected by the Rosarito International Film Festival matters to me because this is a festival that looks at documentaries as thinking objects, not as products. The Empire Writes Back was made from long observation, doubt, memory and resistance to simplification. Rosarito proved to be a place where that kind of work is not only accepted, but actually seen. I was unable to attend but very happy being selected. THANKS!!!

  • Winning an award at the Rosarito Itinerant Film Festival was truly meaningful, not just for the recognition, but for the spirit of the festival itself.

    The festival has a strong curatorial identity and a genuine commitment to filmmakers who push boundaries artistically, technically, and narratively. As someone working at the intersection of music, film, and emerging technologies, it was refreshing to be part of a festival that embraces experimentation while still honoring storytelling at its core.

  • We were notified about being nominated one day before the event. When they notified us they didnt sent any formal invitation, didnt let us know where it was or any info. Would have loved to attend and to have brought a nice audience but the lack of communication made us miss what would have been something very special to us and our crew (who are all locals).

    Response from festival:

    The notification day is announced on the festival page on filmfreeway. Winners are announced on the day of the event according to the festival format. The location of the event is announced on Filmfreeway and also on the festival website. We appreciate your participation and congratulate you on the award you received.

  • Rosarito is important for a number of reasons when a student such as myself submits his first work, in this case a documentary. Since I had bilingual (Spanish-English) content, needed full ADA compliance for sub-titles and closed-captions, and worked with a wonder technical director who works in both Tijuana and San Diego, the Baja venue was rewarding. We have family members with several generations of educational and business careers further south, in San Jose del Cabo, and just being considered for nomination was a deep honor. Continue the excellent work, fair submission prices, and encouragement for creative artists of all communities and age.
