THUS THE NIGHT

About the Film

Musical | 19 MIN | US

A collaborative art film by the three-time GRAMMY-nominated musicians of Spektral Quartet, visual artist Antonia Contro, and production company Four/Ten Media, Thus, The Night interweaves sonic and visual impressions of nighttime through a surrealistic lens, illuminating the sensuousness and complexity of our human relationship to darkness.

Inspired by composer Henri Dutilleux’s 1976 work for string quartet “Ainsi la Nuit”, the film unfolds metaphorically, its motivic tendrils turning mysterious corners and traversing environments of sound and image according to its own inner evolutionary logic. Magical, strange, and intricate, Thus, The Night is an invitation to enjoy the power of suggestion.
