FORT PIERCE, Fla.—Have you ever found yourself wishing for the
opportunity to talk to the director of a film you just saw? Have you ever
wanted to see a film that just wasn’t playing in the area?
The St. Lucie Film Society will try to fill that void!
Award winning Director Jose Garofalo, Puerto Rican Association For
Hispanic Affairs President Jacquelene Burke and Hispanic American
Chamber of Commerce President Robert Roldan’s collaboration on
another project, was the genesis of the St. Lucie Film Society.
“Meetings with Jose (Garofalo) made me realize the community is missing
out,” Burke said.
Their vision to expose the community to films with life-altering messages
and the opportunity to meet and discuss the films with their creative
geniuses fueled their relationship. Garofalo not only promises
screenings, but lectures are also in the works.
“It’s important to nurture our young aspiring filmmakers,” Garofalo said.
The St. Lucie Film Society, whose home is the recently restored
Downtown Fort Pierce’s Sunrise Theatre, is dedicated to the promotion of
independent and foreign film as an art form and to bring films of artistic
and cultural importance to our community.
“We will definitely benefit from these international and independent films
because we are a diverse community,” Rodan said.
Their mission is to develop events that will expose their neighbors to
culturally diverse films. It will also assist in the education of future
filmmakers through educational programs, scholarships, and other forms
of support. For more information, please visit their website at www.
