According to their website, the program ā€œwas created to showcase the works of talented artists in San Antonio’s local film community.ā€

The screenings offer the artist a space to promote and showcase their work.

This month’s screening is a double feature from writer/director and educator Alex Ramirez.

A few weeks after screening his film, ā€œA Life in Technicolor,ā€ at the San Antonio Film Festival, Ramirez is back with the former and his 2017 film ā€œ2:153.ā€

Alongside the double feature is ā€œSpiral,ā€ a SAY Si student film that also screened at the San Antonio Film Festival earlier this month.

It is fitting that a film from a SAY SĆ­ student will also screen in this month’s program, as Ramirez is the media arts director at SAY SĆ­.

The screening is free and open to the public at the San Pedro Library on Saturday, Aug. 26, at 2 p.m.

Ramirez will be in attendance to discuss his work.
