Lost Chapters

The Bus Stop Theatre Co-operative

Halifax Independent Filmmakers Festival 2025

The 19th annual Halifax Independent Filmmakers Festival returns with a celebration of local and international arthouse films from May 28–31, 2025, at the Bus Stop Theatre.

Bathed in sunlight and the warm glow of nostalgia, Lost Chapters captures moments of a family’s life in Caracas. After years of living overseas, Ena has returned to her childhood home to search for a sense of grounding. She spends her days rifling through books alongside her father who is on a mission to archive rare Venezuelan titles, in order to protect Venezuela’s cultural heritage from the grasp of dictatorship. The two spend time with Ena’s lovely grandmother, who too is on her own journey of identity as she loses her memory. When Ena happens upon a forgotten Venezuelan author, her unmooredness is catalyzed into an obsessive quest of her own, which unveils an intuitive interconnectedness between these writings, her grandmother’s memories, and her search for self-identity.The debut feature of filmmaker Lorena Alvarado, Lost Chapters is a remarkable meditation on the quiet hours of life, on what we pass on to our future selves and generations, and on what lingers even when forgotten on the surface. —Kelly Li
