  THU DEC 2 2004  5:30 Canoa (Free Screening!)   Felipe Cazals (Mexico, 
 1975)   Free First Thursday screening!  Tickets available at the PFA 
 Theater starting at 4:30pm  In 1968, during the height of Mexico's student 
 uprising and social upheaval, a group of university workers on a hiking 
 trip were assaulted by a hysterical mob in the town of San Miguel Canoa. 
 Five people died. Canoa, constructed as a faux documentary, complete with 
 an onscreen narrator, revisits this tragedy to unveil a reactionary system 
 of clerical abuse, rural poverty, and anti-Communist hysteria. Cazals's 
 narrator takes viewers first into Canoa by day, where erosion has created a 
 town of dirt and stone, and where a possibly corrupt priest exhorts his 
 flock to be vigilant against provocateurs; and then into Canoa by night, 
 where five visiting college employees attract suspicion, anger, and finally 
 death. Made only seven years after the actual event, Canoa is for critic 
 Carl J. Mora “the most powerful and unsettling statement on Mexico's 
 bloody repression of 1968.” Part historical document, part true-life 
 horror film, the terrifying images of mob violence, manipulated anger, and 
 attacked innocents remain as frightening now as they were then.   Jason 
 Sanders   Written by Tomás Pérez Turrent. Photographed by Alex Phillips, 
 Jr. With Ernesto Gómez Cruz, Enrique Lucero, Salvador Sánchez, Roberto 
 Sosa, Sr. (115 mins, In Spanish with English subtitles, Color, 35mm)  
 [There will be another Mexican political film (El Cambio/The Change)  at
