| | Chac by Sheldon H. Davis |
 | | I had spent two years in a Mayan Indian community in Guatemala, which was similar to the Mexican village of Tenejapa where CHAC was filmed, and was teaching a course at Laney College in Oakland on the social and cultural history of the Maya. |
 | | CHAC (the God of rain in Mayan myth) is incantation, spell, simple and direct in its content, elegiac in its imagery, complex in its form. |
 | | CHAC, I also learned, had been selected for showing by Filmex in Los Angeles, the New Director’s Series at the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Directors’ Fortnight at the Cannes Festival. |
