From legendary filmmaker Víctor Erice (THE SPIRIT OF THE BEEHIVE, EL SUR, DREAM OF LIGHT) comes this compelling and melancholic study of identity, memory, and filmmaking. Set in contemporary Madrid, aging filmmaker Miguel Garay is called upon to recount his final and still unfinished film, THE FAREWELL GAZE. During its production, the lead actor and Miguel’s close friend Julio disappeared without a trace, leaving in his wake a mystery that would haunt everyone associated with the film. When an investigative television show revives the mystery of Julio’s disappearance, Miguel reconnects with the film’s crew, former lovers, and Julio’s daughter, seeking closure and peace around what was lost years ago. Film Center exclusive.
