PhilaMOCA hosts the Philly Premiere of the new queer MMORPG thriller romance EAT THE NIGHT!
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.
107 Minutes / In French with English Subtitles
Directed by Caroline Poggi & Jonathan Vinel
Official Selection: Cannes Directors' Fortnight, BFI London, Festival du Nouveau Cinema, Rio de Janeiro IFF, Athens IFF, Melbourne IFF
"Highly physical and intensely paced, 'Eat the Night' moves skillfully between its fascinating virtual universe (notably with a breathtaking apocalyptic finale) and the very nihilistic everyday life in which the protagonists struggle." - Cineuropa
"Explores teenage malaise and identity through the lens of pop culture." - The Film Stage
