Important Advisory: The First “Puy Ta Cuxlejaltic” (“Caracol of Our Life”) Film Festival has been principally and purposefully planned for the Zapatista originary peoples—for
their gaze, and for the gaze of invited guests who work in fiction and documentary film. In light of this, theater space in the “Emiliano Zapata 3D Children’s Theater” (three directions that is—three
screens in the same theater, but each facing different directions) with its 1800 seats, and space in the “Comandanta Ramona Theater”-DCP with Dolby Sound-(yeah, I don’t know what that means either but they
said you can hear and see the film really well, and the equipment is on loan—just for the festival—from Alfonso Cuarón and the production and technical teams from the film “Roma”) are preferentially reserved for Zapatista women, men, children, and elders as well as for invited guests. In other words, Zapatista compas take their seats first, along with guests, and then if there is space left others may come in (and to be honest, this is unlikely because during at least the first few days
we’re expecting a Zapatista audience of at least 4,000 masked compas).
But don’t worry, because there is also the “Maya Cinema on Foot” (no cars allowed) which is an open air theater and holds 10,000 movie goers. Showings depend, of course,
on whether or not it’s raining and must begin after dark, so this mega-theater is only used after 6pm.
Also, thanks to the support of artists in the city, there will be music, theater, dance, photo exhibits, and story-telling in various pavilions around the “Maya Cinema on Foot”.
Given the above, you can decide if you want to stop by or if you prefer to wait until the films are shown at the CIDECI-UniTierra in San Cristóbal de las Casas, Chiapas,
on their own program schedule.
During the festival, access to the caracol of Oventik will be restricted to invited guests and registered attendees. Access to CIDECI is permitted for registered attendees.
In order to register to attend, please send your information to: festivalcine@enlacezapatista.org.mx

Wha? I mean, what if they run out when it’s actually time for the movies? Better eat up now.
Plus, I’m pissed they didn’t include La Nave de los Monstruos [The Ship of Monsters, 1960] in the festival, can you imagine. Ajúa!

1 PRIMOR is a play on words which could be read as “elegance” or could reference
the author’s use of the term in a previous communique which combines the abbreviations PRI and López Obrador’s MORENA. The EZLN is mocking the idea promoted by Lopez Obrador supporters that his ascent to
power constitutes Mexico’s “Fourth Transformation”, suggesting instead that López Obrador’s victory may signal a fourth transformation, not of Mexico but of the PRI.
2 A reference to the different colors which identify the various political parties in Mexico.
