Iawo -40 min.- (1978) Directed by Gerald Sarno Examines the Yoruba cult of the Orisha, which survives today in such areas as Cuba and Brazil. By showing the initiation of a group of women into a temple, the film offers a deeper examination of the religion. its ideology and social meaning. PROGRAM 2- October 9. 1990 At / ~ (11 Lo que Je paso a Santiago (What Happened to Santiago)- 95 min. ­ (1989 ) Directed by: Jacobo Morales (Puerto Rico) Morales's third feature film. it was nominated for an Academy Award (1990 ) in the category of best foreign-language film. It tells the story of an elderly man, Santiago, whose humdrum existence is shaken by a beautiful, eccentric woman whio is twenty years younger. Poetic and bittersweet, it is a rueful exploration about love. PROGRAM 3- October 16. 1990 Havana Postmodern: The New Cuban Art -40 min.- (1988 ) Directed/Produced by: Robert Knafo. Coco Fusco. Andras Mesz A rare glimpse into the new. sophisticated Cuban visual arts scene, which ranges from pop culture to Afro-Cuban ritual. from Soho to semiotics. Artists interviewed talk about censorship. feminism and the relationship between art and revolution. It is an irreverent, informed and fresh look at an important barometer of change in Cuban society. .' IA BaHart: The Journey of a Latin Dance Company -30 min.- (t 988) Directed by: Catherine Calderon The film documents Eddie Torres' attempt to create a Latin Dance Company along the lines of what Alvin Ailey has done. Torres is part of a revival of the Palladium era of the 1940s when the mambo reigned. It is a behind-the­ scenes look at a vital cultural expression. The music is by Tito Puente. PROGRAM 4- October 23. 1990 La pelicula del rey (A [ing and His Movie) -104 minutes- (1985) Directed by: Carlos SOrln (Argentina) A young, fanatical film director has dreams of producing an epic work based on the true story of a French adventurer of the 19th century who appointed himself king among Patagonian Indian tribes in the 1860s. Beset by a magnitude of problems (running out of money, actors abandoning the project) Sorin's movie becomes a film about the making of La peUcula del rey. It is stunningly visual. unpredictable and outrageously funny, an apt metaphor for how things work (or become undone) under the rigors of underdevelopment. A [ing and His Movie won the Silver Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival. PROGRAM 5- October 30. 1990 Break of Dawn -90 min- 1989 Directed by: Isaac Artenstein (Mexico/US) By the same director of Ballad of the Unsung Hero, this film is based on the life of Pedro j. Gonzalez, who was a telegraph operator for Pancho Villa, then later became a radio star in Los Angeles. He was subsequently arrested in 1934 on trumped-up charges, imprisoned and deported to Mexico. Finally, Gonzalez was vindicated and returned to the U.S.- 30 years later. A gripping film about commitment and racism. PROGRAM 6- November 6. 1990 Barroco- 100 min- 1988 Directed by Paul Leduc (Mexico) A loose adaptation of Alejo Carpentier's Concierto Barraco. Leduc's experimental approach and use of Mexico's rich cultural tradition as a way of exammmg Latin America's baroque traditions evolves into a freely­ structured mosaic. By the same director of award-winning films like John Reed: MeIico Insurgente and Prid.: PROGRAM 7- November 13. 1990 Boleto de Ida (A One Way Ticket) - 98 min.- 1988 Dominican Republic A moving tale of Dominican workers who pay a handsome price to be stowaways on a ship that will take them to Puerto Rico, where they hope to find a better economic future. It is a harrowing expereince for the would-be immigrants, as the title of the film suggests and it takes a stark look at corruption and betrayal. PROGRAM 8- November 27. 1990 Sur (South) -127 min. - 1987 Directed by: Fernando Solanas (Argentina) Solanas third feature is about Florea!. a man who spent five years in jaiJ under the dictatorship (1976-83), is let out of prison and it is time for "the return".

PROGRAM 9- December <t, 1990 Doida Demais (She Can Drive a Person Crazy)- 110 min.- 1988 Directed by: Sergio Rezende (Brazil) Doida Demais is a raucous comedy starring Vera Fischer as a beautiful art forger who. meeting a pilot in the backlands of Brazil, becomes embroiled in a series of misadventures.

  • JACOBO MORALES En 1990 “Lo Que Lo Pasó a Santiago” Fue, Para
    JACOBO MORALES En 1990 “Lo Que Lo Pasó A Santiago” fue, para shock de este escritor y orgullo de boricuas y de los hispanos en general de EEU, nominada para mejor película extranjera. Al haber escuchado mucho sobre este tema en casa cuando joven, viene mi interés por la obra de quien es, hoy por hoy, uno de los mejores cineastas de America Latina. Jacobo Morales, natural de Lajas, Puerto Rico nació en 1934; empezó una precoz carrera a los 14 años como actor de teatro y radio y hoy se destaca en más de 30 obras teatrales como actor y dramaturgo ademas de haber publicado libros de poesia y hecho importantes programas televisivos para el pueblo como “Jacobo y El Arte”. Pero sin duda alguna su mayor contribución y legado ha sido en el campo del Septimo Arte. Empezando por sus inolvidables papeles en las películas hollywoodenses Bananas con Woody Allen y Up The Sandbox con Barabara Streisand ( uno como revolucionario y el otro como Fidel Castro! ) hasta llegar a realizar su propia producción cinematográfica con Dios Los Cria (1980) y Nicolás y los Demás (1985) sus primeras dos películas; ambas, agudas observaciones de la sociedad moderna y sus pasiones desenfrenadas. Premiado en La Habana con el Premio Coral a Mejor Película y actuación Dios Los Cria se compone de 5 cuentos, todos distintos pero a la vez relacionados; con aspectos sorpresivos a lo Buñuel y ‘quirurgicos’ comentarios en los dos extremos del sentir del Caribe urbano contemporáneo. En Nicolás y los Demás ya se vislumbra la formaciónn de un cine de autor, con sus malabarismos narrativos e intrigantes requiebres argumentales; Jacobo destaca a un protagonista y una forma de vida asediados por la decadencia y la nostalgia vengativa.

Orphans of the Motherland: Puerto Rican Images of Spain in Jacobo Morales's Linda Sara Abstract Puerto Rican identity has been confounded by Puerto Rico's prolonged colonial relationship to Spain (nearly 80 years longer than that of most other Latin American colonies) and its abrupt change in status to that of United States protectorate in 1898 after the Spanish American War. Increasingly, Puerto Rican identity has been theorized in sole reference to the political relationship with the United States. The residual presence of Spain and Spaniards in the construction of the new Puerto Rican collective, and the denial or nostalgia that might still be elicited by the former empire, have gradually receded into the background.

  • Jacobo Morales in 1990 “What Happened to Santiago” [Lo Que Le
    Jacobo Morales In 1990 “What Happened To Santiago” [Lo Que Le Paso A Santiago] was, to this author’s shock and the collective pride [ by collective I mean hear to say not just Puerto Rican pride but the pride of U.S-based / bred Latinos everywhere] nominated for best Foreign Film at the Oscars. As a child I heard quite a lot about this unique evenement at home, developing a keen interest in the work of one of today’s most lauded Latin American filmmakers, Jacobo Morales. A native of Lajas, Puerto Rico Jacobo was born in 1934 and began his artistic career at the ripe old age of 14 as an actor in the theatre and radio, having participated as an actor and playwright in more than 30 productions for the stage. The prolific Jacobo is also a published poet and the driving force behind important cultural programming such as “Jacobo y El Arte”. Arguably his most important contributions and greatest legacy however have been those afforded to the cinema. Starting with his unforgettable roles in such Hollywood fare as Bananas with Woody Allen or Up The Sandbox with Barbara Streisand [ one as a revolutionary and the other as Fidel Castro. ] until arriving at his own auspicious cinematographic beginnings, the first two being Dios Los Cria {1980} and “Nicholas And The Others” [ Nicolas Y Los Demas ] {1985}, sharp commentaries on modern society and reckless passion. Honoured at the Havana Film Festival with the prestigious Coral Prize for Best Film and Best Actress, Dios Los Cria is made up of 5 vignettes, each being distinct but somehow related, with their suprising Bunuelian elements and surgical dissections of the emotional state of today’s modernized Caribbean.
