Also known as The Moving Picture Man this is a tender and picaresque adventure of a very unconventional family that brings cinema magic to the people of Venezuela.
Peddler, street photographer, radio announcer, policeman, and mechanic, Jacinto decides to become a film projectionist. To get away from the big city, this “Jack of all trades”, decides to transform a truck into a travelling cinema shaped like a whale. Manuel (Alvaro Roche), a brave eleven-year-old orphan offers his help and becomes part of Jacinto’s trip. Juliet (Juliet Berto), a mysterious French woman also looking for adventure, joins them in this cinematic journey to the end of the world.
Cinema Rediscovered on Tour is a Watershed project in collaboration with Park Circus and StudioCanal. With support from BFI awarding funds from The National Lottery.
