The Cambria Film Festival is sponsoring “Voices Through Time,” a celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month, on Saturday, September 6, at the Cambria Center for the Arts Theatre and Studio Gallery.
The event, which begins at 6:30 p.m., includes the screening of four short films, an art exhibition, a performance by the Cambria Baile Folklórico dancers, and wine tasting from Ulloa Cellars. Representatives from Mujeres de Accion also will be present to share its mission during the event.
The featured films—The Eye Begins in the Hand, The Unbroken Sky, Edel Rodriguez: Freedom Is a Verb, and Límite—were screened earlier this year during the 2025 Cambria Film Festival. They depict the wide array of immigrant experiences, focused on strength, courage, dignity, freedom, and humanity. Two of the films were honored with awards at the festival in February: Edel Rodriguez: Freedom Is a Verb won the award for best documentary short, and The Unbroken Sky won the Nancy Green Founder’s Award.
Filmmakers Normandie Ramirez and Robin Mortarotti (The Unbroken Sky) and Yehuda Sharim (The Eye Begins in the Hand) will be present for a post-screening Q&A. Campesino artist Ruben A. Sanchez (the focus of The Eye Begins in the Hand) also will be in attendance to discuss his work, which is on display in the Cambria Center for the Arts Studio Gallery from September 6 to September 26.
Reserved seating tickets are $25, with discounts available for Cambria Center for the Arts members.
