Questioning the limits of film and film adaptations, dreamy, beautiful both in image and content, image and sound (music composed by the actress Gabi Saidón herself), You Burn Me might be described as experimental cinema, image fragments, poetic philosophy, or simply as visual poem. Argentinian director Matías Piñeiro’s You Burn Me is an adaptation of ‘Sea Foam,’ a chapter from Cesare Pavese’s Dialoghi con Leucò, published in 1947. The ancient Greek poet Sappho and the nymph Britomartis meet beside the sea and have a conversation about love and death. ‘Everything dies in the sea and comes back to life,’ says Britomartis in You Burn Me that was shot in 16mm, and premiered at the Berlinale within the Encounters section.

This film was a Meetings on the Bridge participant.
