Sunday, September 19, 2010 - 7:00 PM

A Benefit for the Chiapas Support Committee's Projects in Chiapas

Corazón del Tiempo (Heart of Time) is a film about love in the time of Zapatista Resistance. Things get complicated when Sonia, a Zapatista civilian supporter living in an autonomous community, falls in love with Julio, an insurgente (rebel fighter), because she is already promised to Miguel, a young community leader. The film shows how the community deals with this romantic dilemma. Spanish with English subtitles.

Corazón del Tiempo was filmed in a Zapatista community in the heart of the Lacandón Jungle of Chiapas, Mexico. The actors are all non-professional Zapatista actors who uncovered their faces and opened their communities for the world to see.

The film's director, Alberto Cortés, will be present on Sunday, September 19, at the Elmwood Theatre in Berkeley to talk about making this amazing film with Zapatista community members as the actors.

Tickets are $10.00
