Telepathic Letters is a film with images created exclusively through AI, and in which a dialogue is established between two of the most influential writers of the 20th century, H.P. Lovecraft and Fernando Pessoa. Fusing Pessoa’s Sensationism with Lovecraft’s strange realism, the film concocts an imaginary correspondence between the two authors, creating a new universe of artistic and literary possibilities.
