AMBULANTE BORDER
En el año 2012 se celebra el 50° aniversario de la Fundación Ford en América Latina. Con motivo de la efeméride, AMBULANTE y la Fundación Ford unen esfuerzos para que, por medio del cine documental, se genere un debate activo que atraviese la frontera creando alianzas que promuevan la colaboración entre gobiernos, instituciones y organizaciones civiles, para favorecer cambios sociales relevantes. Por eso viajaremos a Tijuana y San Diego del 6 al 9 de septiembre con AMBULANTE BORDER SERIES, un ciclo de proyecciones seguidas de páneles con reconocidos expertos que abordarán tres de los temas más apremiantes que afectan la relación bilateral entre México y sus vecinos centroamericanos y norteamericanos: el tráfico y la política de control de armas, la libertad de expresión y la migración.
En palabras de Elena Fortes, directora general de AMBULANTE, "Nos encontramos en un período crítico que sucede a las elecciones presidenciales en México y precede a las de Estados Unidos, por lo que consideramos que es el momento oportuno para abrir una brecha que permita la participación activa de un público que se ha visto directa e indirectamente afectado por las políticas adoptadas para enfrentar estas problemáticas. Los invitamos a ser partícipes de este ciclo y a disfrutar de esta curaduría única de AMBULANTE. Confiamos en que el intercambio de ideas y puntos de vista suscitados durante este ciclo sentarán un precedente importante para el desarrollo de la agenda política y cultural de la región". Gracias al generoso apoyo de nuestros aliados –Embajada de EE.UU, Consulado de EE.UU., Institute of the Americas, Centro Cultural Tijuana, Delegación de Playas de Tijuana, Trans-Border Institute San Diego, Centro Cultural La Raza, El Grafógrafo y Pasaje Rodríguez– las actividades se llevarán a cabo de manera gratuita en estos espacios ubicados en Tijuana y San Diego.

The year 2012 marks the 50th Anniversary of the Ford Foundation’s work in Latin America. Together with the Ford Foundation, AMBULANTE seeks to generate a debate through documentary film, and create solid partnerships that will promote the collaboration between governments and institutions in order to achieve significant social change. That's why we will travel to Tijuana and San Diego from September 6-9 with AMBULANTE BORDER SERIES, a series of screenings followed by panels that will highlight three of the most relevant issues affecting the bilateral relations between Mexico and its Central American and North American neighbors: arms trafficking and gun control policy, freedom of expression and migration.
Elena Fortes, Director of AMBULANTE, invites you to take part in this "unique series and look forward to your ideas and perspectives during the discussions. We trust that we will be able to set a significant precedent for the development of a new cultural and political agenda in the region. AMBULANTE BORDER SERIES will take place during a critical period following the presidential elections in Mexico and preceding the elections in the U.S. We hope that the political climate will inspire the active participation of diverse audiences that have been directly and indirectly affected by these issues." Thanks to the generous support of our partners –U.S. Embassy, U.S. Consulate, Institute of the Americas, Centro Cultural Tijuana, the Delegación de Playas de Tijuana, the Trans-Border Institute of San Diego, the Centro Cultural La Raza, El Grafógrafo and Pasaje Rodríguez– all the events will be free of charge and will take place in strategic locations across the border.
