DocMiami was more than humbled that Ms. Guillot and her daughter shared the inaugural DocMiami festival with us and that she was able to be presented the first “El Rey" Tito Puente Contribution to the Arts Award by Tito Puente Jr. The world will sincerely miss such a talented, strong willed, beautiful lady and her contribution to the Arts and to the world in general will most certainly continue to grow beyond measure.

The DocMiami International Film Festival, showcased three days of cutting edge documentary filmmakers and three nights of outstanding music concerts, in a celebration of documentary filmmaking at a global level nestled in sunny South Florida. The festival brought together emerging documentary filmmakers, students’ grades 6 -12, as well as film and music enthusiasts in a truly bohemian, one-of-a-kind event. DocMiami’s music concerts benefit the non-profit, Brick by Brick for Tanzania, where performers such as: Melton Mustafa, Tito Puente, Jr., Prince Emmanuel Abiodun Aderele, Jamie Catto, Rich Ferguson, Luis Bofill and Band  and Rock n' Roll Royalty featuring Eloy "Rali", contributed their talents to assist school children in Tanzania whom are combating not only poverty but also a drought, hunger and the AIDS crisis.
