Digital Gym Cinema is part of Media Arts<br />
Center San Diego, a nonprofit organization that<br />

Film Festival, a yearly 11-day celebration of Latinx<br />
film, music, and art. Over the years, youth and<br />
teen film education programs were created. The<br />
organization moved to its current location in 2010,<br />

developed to include programming and cinema<br />
