# Event Details

- **Event Name**: A Poet: Preview screening + Q&A with director Simón Mesa Soto moderated by Justin LaLiberty
- **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 27 Jan, 2026 at 07:00 pm
- **Event Description**: A winner at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, A POET follows a failed writer named Oscar (first-time actor Ubeimar Rios) on a wincingly funny downward spiral. Unemployed and living with family, Oscar wanders the streets of Medellín in a drunken stupor, lamenting the state of literature in his home country, where he has succumbed to the cliché of the tortured artist. However, the opportunity to mentor a young student offers a chance at redemption—if he doesn’t screw it up first.

Winner of the Un Certain Regard Jury Prize, A POET is a raw and riotous farce that stands as a breakthrough for both director Simón Mesa Soto and the mesmerizing Rios, who’s unforgettable as a glutton for cruel and unusually poetic punishments. Catch a preview screening #AtTheJBFC on Tuesday, Jan. 27, followed by a live Q&A with director Simón Mesa Soto, moderated by Justin LaLiberty, Director of Operations at OCN Distribution.
