Information
Please join us on September 28th at 7:15 pm at the Byrd Theater for the French/Portugese film "Encontro".
Alain, a Belgian director in his fifties, receives a mysterious text message. A photo appears on his phone for a few seconds, giving him time to recognize Luisa, the actress in his film that was left unfinished 7 years ago. Alain had suddenly had to abandon this woman he loved passionately. This image invades his thoughts and projects him into a fantasy world. Convinced that it is a spiritual message encouraging him to see Luisa again, Alain hurriedly leaves his house in Ghent, Belgium, to go to Lisbon. Once there, he learns that Luisa has been missing for four years. In search of the truth, he sets out to find her. It is then that Maria, a stranger met in the cafeteria of a cinema, offers her help...
The film, which offers no answers but calls for questioning about the indelible traces that a passion can leave in the minds of each person, plunges us into a universe in which the Portuguese landscapes of the historic heart of Lisbon intersect with the wild landscapes of Cape Verde.
