Event Description

Part of the the Iberoamérica series, Postcards from Leningrad (Postales de Leningrado), is a riveting drama portraying  childhood in the guerilla camps in Venezuela. Directed and written by Mariana Rondón.

“2007. Venezuela. Written and directed by Mariana Rondón. With Laureano Olivares, Greisy Mena, Haydee Faverola. During Venezuela’s armed revolutionary struggle of the 1960s, a young guerilla woman gives birth to a daughter. Seen from her child’s point of view, their life of hiding places, fake names, and disguises seems like a game. Confidently balancing the drama of revolution with the capacity of children to dream, the film’s colorful universe blurs the line between reality and the madness of war. In Spanish; English subtitles. 90 min.”- MoMA
