\u201cIt\u2019s a great honor for me to be associated in any shape or form with Gregory Peck and receive this award. He\u2019s a great inspiration to all of us actors,\u201d<\/em> said Andy Garcia<\/p>\n

Films were also honored, \u201cMending the Line,\u201d<\/em> starring Brian Cox, Sinqua Walls, Perry Mattfeld and Patricia Heaton, received the Valor Award.<\/p>\n

Dr. Brook Parker-Bello, author and founding CEO of More Too Life, was presented with this year\u2019s Humanitarian Award for her work against human trafficking.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe as a festival and community have sought to shine a light on the issue of human trafficking for many years through our curation of films that highlight this heartbreaking topic.\u00a0 This year we continue the conversation with new films that examine stories of human trafficking,\u201d<\/em> added Tonya Mantooth.<\/p>\n

Additionally, the fest launched the Women\u2019s Film Series, the result of the recent integration of the San Diego Women\u2019s Film Festival produced by the Women\u2019s Museum of California.\u00a0 The series\u2019 purpose is to shine a light on female filmmakers and amplifying voices on the issue of gender inequality in the industry.<\/p>\n

Finally, the fest highlighted San Diego as a hub of biotech and life sciences development through a partnership with philanthropy Curebound, which funds cancer research via the screening of the film \u201cMedicine and Miracles\u201d which had a panel exploring the topic.<\/p>\n
