The Edge of The Sea
posted: September, 08 2009

Documentary film about the environmental effects of coastal development on Puerto Rico’s beached to premiere at the 3^rd Annual Orlando Hispanic Film Festival.

“The Edge of The Sea” tells the story of Edwin 'Pauco' Font, a 61 year old, third-generation fisherman from Rincón, Puerto Rico. Since the late 1960's, Puerto Rico, and small fishing villages like Rincón, have undergone expansive costal development driven by tourism and the growing demand for beachfront property. “The Edge of the Sea” follows Pauco in his battle against a local developer planning to build a mega condo project on one of Rincon’s most popular public beaches. This film explores the issue of the privatization of public areas, and the social and environmental consequences of excessive coastal development.

“The Edge of the Sea” will have its sneak preview during the 2009 Orlando Hispanic Film Festival on September 17th, 2009 at the Orlando Public Library in Central Orlando where the Director/Producer Maria Jose Calderon will be present. The film will also have its official premiere on Friday, September 18th, 2009 at 4:30 pm and Sunday, September 20th, 2009 at 12:30pm at the Plaza Cinema Café at 155 South Orange Avenue in Downtown Orlando.
