Nuit Blanche : Noir Paris

Set in a film noir Paris,Nuit Blanche explores a fleeting moment between two strangers, revealing their brief connection in a hyper real fantasy. The film captures MAGICALLY, a surprisingly violent moment of connection between these two strangers attracted to each other with such magnetism that neither panes of glass nor speeding vehicles can keep them apart. 

The entire film is told in slow-motion, with sculptural explosions of glass and water enshrining the two would-be lovers like heavenly gossamer. The elongated seconds echo the longing each character feels for the other, and time itself seems to be an expression of their aching desires.
