Photography Reception
The 2007 All Roads Film Festival has landed in the "Land of Enchantment" for its final destination of the year. With last night's premiere screening of "Super Amigos" and the opening of the photography exhibit, All Roads set into motion a very strong presence here at the Santa Fe Film Festival. Still to come, are more captivating films and the music of Tinariwen on Friday. For the filmmakers and photographers, the fellowship shared among all is special. Coming from such destinations as Finland, Australia, Canada and Mexico to name a few, Santa Fe has the feeling of a family reunion after festival runs in Los Angeles and Washington D.C. It is truly endearing to witness the cultivation of the these relationships first hand.

The students of Hollywood High School were treated to a screening of the social documentary Super Amigos during the festival's LA run. The students, between the ages of 16-18, were enraptured by the film from start to finish as the adventures of the "Super Amigos" revealed themselves on the silver screen. Ar07_0312_2
According to one of the teachers, Barbara Gordon, this behaviour was a rare exhibition for the group. After the film, Superbarrio engaged the students in a spirited dialogue about the social causes featured in the film. It was striking just how in touch the students were with the human rights issues afflicting this continents megalopolis'. Several implored the Mexican "luchador" to come to their city to help champion their respective causes.
