Classical Period, Ted Fendt (2018, USA)

Classical Period is a portrait of Cal and his friends in Philadelphia. They meet and have long conversations about books, poetry, music, and architecture, most notably Henry Longfellow's 1864 translation of Dante's Divine Comedy . Filmed in rich, grainy 16mm color, the film forefronts character and portraiture, leaving the artificial trappings of narrative cinema behind.

Classical Period "breathes with a unique rhythm, and is interested in silence—to film the stillness, to remember what people have to say, and above all to learn."—Lucas Granero.

Film will be screened in original version with Catalan subtitles.
