Beatriz's War - media luna new films (rated M)

Directed by Bety Reis and Luigi Acquisto

East Timor’s first feature film, BEATRIZ’S WAR, is the haunting passionate
story of a woman’s conviction to remain true to the man she loves and
the country for which she fought. It is a bold reworking of the 16th
century French ‘Martin Guerre’ story. In this adaptation, it’s transposed to
Portuguese Timor during the Indonesian occupation. Sixteen years after
Beatriz’s husband disappeared during a brutal massacre by Indonesian
forces, she is troubled by his mysterious return: Is he the young man she’d
lost or is he an impostor?

DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT
BETY REIS: “Imagine what it is like to live in a country that has never heard
its language or seen the faces of its people on a screen. This first film is
full of pain but also courage, love and the compulsion to tell our story.”
LUIGI ACQUISTO: “Since independence, East Timor has rebuilt from
ground zero. BEATRIZ’S WAR is the start of a film culture, something as
rare as the birth of a new nation.”

CAST BIOGRAPHY
IRIM TOLENTINO is one of East Timor’s most talented and experienced
actors. She co-founded the theatre group Bibi Bulak (Mad Goat) in 2001
and has appeared in many local East Timorese television programs and
theatre productions.
BEATRIZ’S WAR is AUGUSTA SOARES’ first film. Her passion for performing
grew out of her involvement in cultural youth groups in East Timor.
JOSE DA COSTA is East Timor’s leading actor. He has played major roles
in award winning foreign productions such as ANSWERED BY FIRE and
BALIBO, an Australian feature set in East Timor.
