Point Reyes Station, California — The participants of the Latino Photography Project document the traditions and vibrancy of West Marin’s Latino population—and for the last year, filmmaker Alejandro Palacios has been examining the photographers’ connection to the craft and their communities. On March 24, Mr. Palacios will screen a trailer of his documentary in a benefit at the Dance Palace. The event will feature live music, food and drink, and a panel of students and teachers speaking about the project and the photographers’ own work.
