Corazon del tiempo - Heart of Time

Film screening @ UoW

In the picturesque Chiapas mountains, amidst a Zapatista village a young woman, Sonia, is betrothed in the traditional manner to Miguel, a young community leader. Her future seems set until one day she falls in love with a rebel fighter. Sonia’s revolution of the heart threatens the wills and convictions of everyone around her and puts the security of her community in danger. Heart of Time is a rare and intimate look into the heart of the Zapatista revolution in Chiapas, Mexico. As Cortés depicts, with striking authenticity, a community that is constantly reinventing the rules of tradition and revolution, he also reveals that the roots of struggle for political freedom are ultimately born out of the tangle of desires to live with a free heart.

The film and its context will be introduced by PhD candidate Tristan Epstein, recently returned from fieldwork in Southern Mexico.

Date:
Wednesday, 03 March 2010
Time:
19:00 - 21:00
Location:
Wollongong University, Building 20
