THIS SCREENING IS SOLD OUT.

Starting at 2 pm, Anthony Oliveira, a keeper from the Saint Louis Zoo’s Insectarium, will show off moth specimens in the lobby and provide an introductory talk on moths and blacklighting.

In the dense forests of the Eastern Himalayas, moths are whispering something to us. In the dark of night, two curious observers shine a light on this secret universe. Together, they are on an expedition to decode these nocturnal creatures in a remote ecological “hot spot” on the border of India and Bhutan. The result is a deeply immersive film that transports audiences to a rarely-seen place and urges us all to look more closely at the hidden interconnections of the natural world.

*CRITIC’S PICK* “Enlightened… Dutta and Srinivasan’s understated approach shows research and nature in action without pretending to make a forest give up its secrets.”
—Nicolas Rapold, The New York Times

“Dazzling. An introspective and captivating documentary. A rich, unexpected experience.”
—Kate Erbland, IndieWire

“Delicate… NOCTURNES is as much a process film as it is a sensory experience.”
—Lovia Gyarkye, The Hollywood Reporter

“A hypnotic documentary…. the movie’s arguments are made through images, silences and the sounds of nature.”
—Siddhant Adlakha, Variety

“Meditative and mesmerising…unlike anything you’ve ever seen…Intimate and expansive…breathtakingly vivid….Anirban & Anupama have created a film that stimulates your senses”
—Santanu Das Hindustan Times
