A Night of Knowing Nothing
The mission of the Centre d'art et essai de la Cinémathèque québécoise (CAECQ) is to primary program Quebec-made documentaries and independent fiction, as well as international documentaries, animated and foreign films, while encouraging opportunities for meetings between the public and the artists. Its programming is presented in conjunction with the Cinémathèque québécoise’s under the label New releases.
In India, a university student writes letters to her estranged lover while he is away. Through these letters, we get a glimpse of the radical changes taking place around her. Fusing reality and fiction, dreams, memories, fantasies and anxieties, an amorphous narrative unfolds.
The trailer has english subtitles, but the film will be presented with french subtitles.
