THE PROPHET

Special Features: North American Premiere

[O PROFETA]
Pastor Hélder (Admiro De Laura Munguambe) has lost his faith in the Lord, which is troubling enough for any believer but a catastrophe for a man of the cloth. Kindhearted and deeply loved by the people of his parish in Manjacaze, a small town in southern Mozambique, he is left wondering where his belief went and how he might reclaim it. His search leads him to an unexpected realm: traditional witchcraft. For a while, the forces he calls upon seem to work in his favor, until they suddenly do not. Shot luminously in black and white, this austere debut from filmmaker Ique Langa unfolds with quiet intensity, revealing how doubt and darkness seep into everyday life.
