Paris, Texas (OmU)

In the organizer's words:

Travis Henderson, a man of few words, suddenly reappears in the Texan desert after an absence of four years. He must confront his past, rebuild contact with his estranged son and his family, and in the process rediscover his own identity and direction in life. His journey through the vastness of the desert reveals a quiet, emotional search for reconciliation, belonging and human connection.

Wim Wenders' Paris, Texas is considered a masterpiece of modern auteur cinema. He explores deep psychological and emotional terrain through minimalist storytelling, haunting landscape shots and precise visual compositions. The Texan desert functions as a metaphorical space for isolation, alienation and rediscovery - an existential mirror for the protagonist's inner journey and the dusty emptiness of the American dream.
