It’s been 10 years since the lifetime BFFs, Diego Luna and Gael García Bernal, started their pop-up screenings in their revolutionary concept of an itinerant film fest, "Ambulante," which looks to make a difference in the way underserved communities relate to documentary film. The tour will go from tour the state from September 19 to October 4, traveling over 485 miles along the coast of California, while screening 28 films in 21 different public venues, mostly outdoor spaces which have been abandoned and all of it will be completely free.
Co-Founder Diego Luna said, “Ambulante represents an enormous undertaking by a group of people who work year round to ensure documentary film keeps reaching an ever-widening audience.” Luna called the announcement of the second Ambulante California an “enormous feat!” “Together let’s seize this opportunity to share and enjoy documentary cinema for free in our communities,” he concluded. Elena Fortes, also a Co-Founder of Ambulante, said, “The first edition of Ambulante California marked an exciting turn in the life of Ambulante, as it expanded into new territory, taking on the challenge of attracting different audiences across LA.” Now, Forte says the second year will show “a greater sense of community by linking documentary cinema to a wide range of activities and environmentally sound urban practices.”
