An Evening with Jacobo Morales

Saturday, 15 Sep 2012 at 7:00 pm – Central Campus (South of the Campanile)

Jacobo Morales is consider one of the most influential film directors in Puerto Rico's history. He has had an eclectic career as an actor, playright, poet, writer and filmmaker. His first film, Dios los Créa (1980), was selected as one of the twenty-five most significant films of Latin America, and his third film, Lo que le paso a Santiago, was nominated for an Oscar for best foreign film in 1989. His Hollywood credits include Woody Allen's Bananas and Up the Sandbox with Barbra Streisand. Jacobo Morales's presentation is part of the Puerto Rican Student Association's Cultural Night, which runs from 7:00-9:00 p.m. and includes traditional food and dancing.
