ULAMA -El Juego de la Vida y la Muerte
Date: Wednesday, October 12
Time: Doors open at 7PM, 7:30PM-9:30PM
Location: World Theater
Description: This documentary examines the origins and historical significance of Ulama, a sport that has its roots as a Mesoamerican ballgame played since at least 1000 BC. In many regions matches would often end with the sacrifice of the losing players. The film is a lyrical and beautifully shot work of art, balancing its study of ancient ritual with images of the game in modern play.
Following the screening filmmaker Roberto Rochin and founding faculty member, Luis Valdez will discuss the film with the audience. For more information contact Phil Esparza (831) 601-6029.
