A brief synopsis of the plot: The 19th-century English poet, John Keats, and his neighbor, Fanny Brawne, who was involved in dressmaking, are completely unaware of each other. An unlikely love story develops, and they fall deeply in love near the end of his life.
Just before the screening of Bright Star, there will be a 6.5-minute presentation featuring a compilation of images of old, uninhabited houses from Dimitsana and Lauren Neefe's sound composition, as part of the Periplus 2025 project—a ten-day workshop hosted by the Intermunicipal and Cultural Center of Dimitsana in July 2025. This workshop involved leading Art and Design Schools. The poem "Locus Fugit" by Katerina Karizoni from the permanent exhibition "Time and Light" at the Intermunicipal and Cultural Center of Dimitsana will be read, accompanied by soundscapes of the village, voices of Dimitsana residents, and voices of Greek participants of the workshop. The archival material presented was kindly provided by the Center's President, Mr. Kostas Lamprou, as part of the collaboration within the "Poiitikoi Dromoi" project.
