The Fund aims to honor filmmaker Roberto Guerra’s life and legacy in the field by supporting and encouraging an emerging Latin-American or US-based Latino filmmaker living in New York in the creation of his or her documentary work. Media artist Kathy Brew, Roberto Guerra’s long-time collaborator and wife, established the Fund in partnership with UnionDocs as the non-profit administrator.  To date, the fund has raised almost $15,000.

A select group of people in the field were invited to nominate potential candidates and then a selection panel convened on September 11th. Cecilia Aldarondo will receive $ 2,500 to support  the completion of her first feature-length documentary, Cheap Memories of a Penitent Heart. In the film, twenty-five years after her uncle Miguel died of AIDS, Aldarondo tracks down his gay lover and cracks open a Pandora’s box of unresolved family drama. The film is currently in post-production and the grant funds will be used towards costs of an original music score for the film. Buy Order
