Synopsis
Nuit blanche is a hand-drawn stop motion film that recounts sensorial impressions of a 'white night' or 'sleepless night'. Through a series of ink drawings Anna M'barek animates visual and sonorous memories from Tunisia that are set to music by her daughter Pauline M'barek. The oneiric experience of the night with its movements, shadows and whispers, explores thresholds between reality and fiction, wakefulness and dreams and ultimately the possibility of accessing a foreign culture through an alternative, non linguistic approach.
