Payal Kapadia’s electrifying debut feature is a fever dream of impossible love tied to a broader reflection on contemporary India.

Through fictional love letters found in a cupboard at the Film and Television Institute of India, we meet L, a film student writing to her estranged lover while he is away. Gradually we’re immersed in the drastic changes taking place at the school and in the lives of young people across the country as they take to the streets to protest widespread discrimination.In her debut film, Payal Kapadia deftly merges reality with fiction, weaving together archival footage with student protest videos to create a vital tapestry of the personal and the political. With its dreamlike editing rhythms and a revelatory use of sound, A Night of Knowing Nothing is both an essential document of contemporary India and a nostalgic look at youth fighting the injustice of their time.Winner - Oeil d&#x27;Or (Best Documentary), Cannes Film FestivalSPACE currently requires masks and vaccination for all event attendees.
