This weekend (11-12th Oct) The Coin gets two screenings on the west coast of the United States. See here for more details on that. Now we’ve found out that the short film will be heading about as far east as it can whilst staying within the US, sort of.
Puerto Rico, located in the Caribbean, is an “unincorporated territory” of the United States, one of a dozen or so islands in the Pacific and the Caribbean that are designated that way. These territories are controlled by the US government but are independent from certain constitutional elements.
In November the Enfoque International Film Festival will be taking place at the Museo de Arte de Puerto Rico (Arts Museum) in the San Juan region situated in the north east corner of the island. The Enfoque (Spanish for “approach”) festival was first held 5 years ago.
The exact schedule has not been released yet but The Coin is one of 45 films to be shown in the 3 day event running across Thursday the 13th to Saturday the 15th of November. The festival’s website is here.
Thanks to Fabien Martorell for letting us know about this.
The photo above shows part of the Castillo San Felipe del Morro, a 16th century citadel on the the northern tip of the San Juan coast line. It has been a World Heritage Site for a couple decades and attracts millions of visitors per year.
