Baja California: The Pacific Coast of Mexico (1949)

cinematographic piece of high historical and cultural value, given the scarcity of material filmed in BCS in past eras. The educational film was rescued and restored by the Academic Film Archive of North America. Funding for its recovery was provided by the Castellano Family Foundation, an association of Santa Clara County, California, dedicated to promoting Latino arts and culture. The subtitles are authored by Saul Tuchmann (2016). On the page of the aforementioned film file reads: "[Silas] Johnson [film producer] is another lost filmmaker, who worked out of Coronado, Calif. This film has beautiful color footage of old Baja, before Pemex stations lined the Quotation and Free Hunt travels from Ensenada to Cabo San Lucas, enchantingly stopping at the waterless village of Magdalena Bay, Tortuga Bay, and the vineyards at Santo Tomas. "Sponsored by the Castellano Family Foundation." Cinema is also heritage, memory and culture
