What is ARIVACA FILM NIGHT ? It’s an opportunity for those of us who are experimenting with our digital cameras and software to create filmic stories that are personal to us and our local. Thus this Friday night program provides a public forum to present and share information, ideas, artistic concepts and works in progress. The Friday night program kind of creates itself as submissions come in. Here’s what is developing for the evening so far........

Those who drive the Arivaca Road know anything can happen along its 25-mile stretch of isolation in route between the highway and Arivaca. When a violent Monsoon storm rolled north from Mexico in August of 2014, Arivaca digital filmmaker Bart Santello happened to be driving south and met the storm head-on. With audio and video equipment on-hand, a stunning capture of that experience was achieved.
