At Night follows six women as they move through Paris after dark, each dealing with personal struggles. A filmmaker tries to make sense of the film she is creating, a Black single mother challenges the labels society places on her, a former sex worker looks back on her past, and a poet gives up her hope of having a child. Set over a single night, Beatrice Gibson’s first feature film draws inspiration from the writings of Alice Notley, June Jordan, Kathy Acker and Bernadette Mayer. The film blends dreams, fiction and reality to explore the women’s experiences and inner lives.
Beatrice Gibson is a London-based experimental filmmaker, twice winner of Rotterdam’s Tiger Award for Best Short Film. She received the Baloise Art Prize and Marian McMahon Akimbo Award, and was shortlisted for the Jarman Award. At Night is her debut feature.
