The latest film in director Matias Piñeiro’s loose, innovative, and beautifully contemporary adaptations of Shakespeare’s plays, HERMIA & HELENA is unlike any other film in the festival. A transcontinental story, where the written words of Shakespeare clash with the entanglements of modern, digital life. When a young translator accepts a position at a New York City residency, she seizes upon the opportunity to connect with a previously unknown stranger, an encounter that will shape her experience of America and reframe her life as she knows it.
