synopsis

Fernando Pessoa and H. P. Lovecraft never met, but Telepathic Letters creates an imaginary dialogue between them, built entirely from their writings. 

Edgar Pêra brings together Pessoa’s Sensationism and Lovecraft’s Weird Realism, creating a singular visual and literary universe at the crossroads of cinema, literature and new technologies.
