Friday, January 10 & Saturday, January 11 at 7:00 p.m.: Q&A with directors Caroline Poggi and Jonathan Vinel moderated by critic Beatrice Loyaza (Fri)

Pablo, a small-time drug dealer, and his teenage sister Apolline have forged an unbreakable bond through their shared obsession with the online video game Darknoon. When Pablo falls for the mysterious Night, he gets swept up in their liaison, abandoning his sister to deal with the impending shutdown of their digital haven alone. As Pablo’s reckless choices provoke the wrath of a dangerous rival gang, the end of their virtual life draws near, upending their reality.

The newest vision from Caroline Poggi & Jonathan Vinel (Jessica Forever) is a bittersweet apocalyptic love story with a modern MMORPG twist.
