See below for additional related events

Erice’s first feature in 31 years concerns a director on hiatus (played by Manolo Solo) tracing a new lead on the disappearance of his close friend and actor (played by José Coronado).

Luminously shot on both film and digital video, and filled with gently haunting references to cinema’s past, from Hawks’ Rio Bravo to Erice’s own long-term creative relationship with The Spirit of the Beehive’s Ana Torrent, this late-career masterpiece reflects upon a life lived through cinema and the artform’s fading significance – or possible rebirth – in a rapidly changing modern world.
