About this event
Un Poeta (A Poet). 2025 Dir. Simón Mesa Soto (Colombia). Span / Eng Sub. 120 min.
Oscar Restrepo's obsession with poetry has brought him no glory. Aging and erratic, he has succumbed to the cliché of the poet in the shadows. Meeting Yurlady, a teenage girl from humble roots, and helping her cultivate her talent brings some light to his days. But dragging her into the world of poets may not be the way. Winner of Un Certain Regard, Cannes Film Festival 2025.
Special poetry recital before the film. 6:30 pm.
