The Night Is Fading Away

Description

For anyone who loves films about films. After budget cuts cost cinephile Pelu his job as projectionist, he takes on the night shift as a watchman at a cinema. In the dark hours of the night, he turns the sprawling cinema halls into a mystical refuge for Córdoba’s outsiders. This hazy, black-and-white film, inspired by Italian neorealism, follows the after-hours goings-on of the cinema’s various inhabitants.
