 The 10 winning script writers in Access Sacramento's 17th "A Place Called Sacramento Film Festival are gathering their casts and crew for this year's films. Production this summer will put 10 original films onto the big screen on the upcoming Oct. 8 world premiere.
The winning writers and their story lines are:
"Afternoon Delight" by Danna Wilberg -- When love is in the air... some things are best kept secret. "The Black Carnation" by J. Thomas Schuessler -- The secret of life and death arrives like a thunderbolt, but one man may find real truth in an encounter with "The Black Carnation." "Capitol Treasure" by John Maniaci -- Clues discovered about Gold Rush era money missing for more than a century spark a quest, but can modern day treasure hunters unravel the biggest secret?
"City of Trees" by Eric Sanderson -- Letting the leaves fall where they may simply isn't an option when a young girl and her friends put virtue in front of safety.
"Coming Back" by Scott Slotterback -- "Coming back" when you're broken takes time, but a dose of love could be the best medicine.
"Faster" by Chris Henry -- Jimmy Rodriquez is racing into the future while relying on his past.

"A Neighborhood Lost - Sacramento's Japantown" by Jeffrey Dym -- A downtown Sacramento neighborhood is born from a need for community, thrives in the face of racism, only to be destroyed in the name of redevelopment.

or absolution. For an ex-con, there can be a very thin line between the two.

2016 Sacramento French Film Festival Open June 17
 To celebrate its 15th anniversary in style, the Sacramento French Film Festival is changing the Opening Night order of events. This year, the Opening Film will precede the reception and start at 7 p.m., at the Crest Theatre. The opening film Fatima, 2016 César for Best Film, can be attended without the Reception. The opening reception begin after the film (around 9 p.m.) in the gorgeous Silver Room, located a block away from the Crest Theatre at 1025 9th Street, at the corner of K Street.
 Multiculturalism and the immigrant experience are on the minds of French filmmakers this year, as the 2016 Sacramento French Film Festival line-up will attest. For writer/director Philippe Faucon, it has been a career-defining theme. His latest film, Fatima (2015) depicts the everyday struggles, tensions and humiliations, but also the moments of joy and fraternity, affecting two generations of immigrant women, trying to find their place in French society. Fatima is a joyful and kind-hearted celebration of their fortitude.
The complete program of the 15th Sacramento French Film Festival will be announced in early June.
