Electric touches meet a lavender haze. Technology, noise, glitch, and life blend together in this package that is equal parts spiritual and mystical. 


While on a geology training session in an abandoned open-cast mine, a crew of Canadian astronauts is interrupted by an Atikamekw elder. The astronauts ask him to leave because they're training for a lofty mission to the moon. The elder hesitates but decides to depart on one condition: the astronauts must deliver a sacred message to the spirits of the moon.


Starring Larissa Corriveau (VIKING, CIFF 2022), SOLEIL DE NUIT opens up an important dialogue around colonization, space exploration, and what the purpose of humanity really is.


SOLEIL DE NUIT will be screened as a part of the SHORTS: BIOCHEMICAL EQUATION package.
