Win tickets to the Mexican gala (Vancouver Latin American Film Festival) Sep 9th

I’m Mexican, and it would be embarrassing and a shame if I didn’t promote the films originated in my own country. So, I am pleased to announce that I am giving away 5 pairs of tickets to the Mexican gala of the Vancouver Latin American Film Festival 2010. The feature film is Alamar by Pedro Gonzalez-Rubio (video below). For a chance to win tickets, simply tweet the sample tweet below, drop a comment on this post or retweet the post using the Twitter button below.

Jorge and Roberta have been separated for several years. They simply come from opposite worlds. He likes an uncomplicated life in the jungle, while she prefers a more urban existence. He is Mexican and she is Italian, and she has decided to return to Rome with their five-year-old son, Natan. But before they leave, Jorge wishes to take young Natan on a trip, hoping to teach him about his Mayan origins in Mexico. As father and son spend more time together, Natan begins a learning experience that will remain with him forever. “Alamar was inspired by the simplicity of happiness.” – Pedro González-Rubio
