Popol Vuh: The Creation Myth of the Maya, (1989, 60 mins, Dir. Patricia Amlin)
Filmmaker Patricia Amlin’s passion for Maya culture and ancient Maya art began on a trip to Guatemala in the 1970s. She has spent considerable time in Maya communities, and provided refuge in her home for friends during the Guatemalan Maya genocides of the 1980s. At this time, Amlin was gifted with the chance to share their beliefs with the world to help stop the genocide.During the late ‘70s and ‘80s, Amlin and other researchers on early Maya civilization realized that ancient Maya art, particularly Classic period (400-900 A.D.) painted pottery, illustrated stories still known among contemporary Maya people, most particularly the story of creation.
This story is best known from a rare 16th century manuscript, the Popol Vuh, or Quiché Maya…
