Us and the Night [LAST SCREENING]

Night after night, two travellers cross paths at a university library. The library’s symmetry, rhythms and recurrences form a fantastic geography for their stories and adventures.

Director’s notes: I liked thinking about how a new language can be an invitation and a game; how reading steps us into the familiar and the unknown; and how libraries can be like fantastic, exhilarating adventures to the sea, into the universe, to anywhere else. Stories and accounts are part of what the film is about. I hope the viewer — a reader, of sorts — will find other things too.
