Back in May, we shared the story of “Bien Juntitos,” a multimedia project by Sacramento photographer Janine Mapurunga. It documents the Manitos, a group of local Spanish-speaking elders, through photo portraits and a short documentary film. The 28-minute “Bien Juntitos” film debuts June 27 as part of the Nevada City Film Festival. This lovingly-shot documentary that explores the histories and personalities of the Manitos will be shown as part of the festival’s “Shorts Program 2” section. Note that the festival runs through June 28. If you’re an independent movie buff, head for the hills of Nevada County.
