[EL PROYECCIONISTA]
José María Cabral's follow-up to 2017's WOODPECKERS is a road movie infused with a love of cinema. Lonely and isolated, Eliseo is a projectionist infatuated with a woman he sees on a particular reel of film. After the reel is lost in an accident, Eliseo is plunged into a search for the woman's true identity. Setting out across the most remote and poorest areas of the Dominican Republic, Eliseo must appeal to all he knows as he hunts for clues. Picking up a reluctant protégé on his journey, he embarks on a trip that will not only open his mind, but also his heart. Official Selection, 2019 Miami Film Festival.
