San Quentin (United States) (AFP) – Held inside a notorious prison among some of California’s most violent felons, the San Quentin Film Festival is not your typical Hollywood affair. The festival, launched last year, offers inmates a chance to create their own movies and meet mainstream filmmakers from the outside. “If we send people out without having resolved their trauma and have no skill set, no degree, no schooling, they’re more likely to reoffend and cause more victims,” says prison warden Chance Andes.
