JUST LIKE THE FILMS

"I always needed fiction to make sense of reality". A cinematic image fills the void left by the death of a loved one. This is a film about loss, loneliness and the love for the movies. “ In Just Like the Films, Sara N. Santos seeks to conjure the elusive memory of her deceased grandfather, piecing an intimate detective story out of clips from classic noir films, their sound attentively re-edited, the end result a monochrome act of filial and cinematic devotion”. 
 Jonathan Ali (Alchemy Film and Moving Image Festival)
