About this Event
"An adaptation of "Sea Foam," a chapter in Cesare Pavese's Dialogues with Leucò, Piñeiro's latest is an intimate and expansive meditation on death and desire and a thrilling exploration of the possibilities of adapting text to film. In "Sea Foam," Pavese stages a fictional dialogue between the ancient Greek poet Sappho and the nymph Britomartis (played by frequent Piñeiro collaborators Gabi Saidón and María Villar). Sappho has thrown herself into the ocean from heartbreak. Britomartis has fallen off a cliff into the water while fleeing a man. Reuniting at the shore, they discuss life, death and the bittersweet nature of desire." - Cinema Guild summary
Join us for an intimate screening of this new film by Mathias Piñeiro, courtesy of our good friends at Cinema Guild. Afterglow will have wine and refreshments for purchase, and we'll be bringing the good vibes. Longer than a short, shorter than a feature, and shot on a beautiful 16mm Bolex camera- You Burn Me will be the perfect fit for the cafe setting. This being a new film that is not playing anywhere else in Virginia means the event will be ticketed. Doors are at 7:30 and the movie will begin at 8. Please join us for a wonderful evening!
