Act of Faith

About This Movie

Act of Faith is a 1970 film directed by Ospina, adapted from Jean-Paul Sartre's short story Erostratus. This drama explores themes of despair and violence through its central character's drastic decisions. It's a notable piece for collectors interested in adaptations of literary works and indie cinema from the period.

This film is quite rare, especially in its original 16mm format, making it a sought-after piece among collectors who appreciate its unique take on existential themes. The restoration efforts have helped preserve the film's original atmosphere, yet it still remains under the radar compared to more mainstream works from the era. There’s an increasing interest in Ospina's early projects, and this one particularly stands out due to its thematic depth and unconventional narrative style.
