FAMILY FILMS & SCHEDULE
11:30 AM Sat, Mar 10
dir. Benito Fernández
(2011, 90 min., Mexico, Spanish w/ English subtitles)
San Diego Latino Film Festival’s first feature-length film to be presented in 3D! Brijes are magical animal spirits that have been in contact with human beings since the beginning of time. Every human had his brije: The human cared for his brije and vice versa. When the human turned 13 the old shamans performed the ritual a synchronizing ritual trough which the human and the brije were able to transform into the warrior form: a physical state in which the human acquired the powers of his brije and extraordinary strength needed to perform acts of heroism. Unfortunately hundreds of years ago, with the birth of modern science and technology, this union was severed and humans stopped believing in magic. Featuring the voice of Edgar Vivar (Chespirito).

He won’t be alone on this journey though, as Juan Escopeta, a gunman for hire with a mission that’ll be essential to story, will travel alongside the young boy. Featuring the voices of Joaquín Cosío, Dolores Heridia, Bruno Bichir, and many more Latino stars, La Revolucion de Juan Escopeta is a unique and transcendent cinematic experience, both haunting and playful, dark and full of optimism.
