Black and white footage follows a camera as it explores the streets of Montreal at night, capturing sounds, smells, and feelings. From the beginning, NIGHTS presents itself as a poetic, wandering journey—an ongoing exploration of the many inner lives found within a large city after dark. Testimonials and personal stories unfold from people like a photographer, a truck driver, a baker, and a blind woman who has adapted to perceiving the world in unique ways. Their experiences intersect yet remain distinct, creating a sense of living outside of everyday life, yet finding connection with others who share this perspective. Diane Poitras builds a portrait of an unseen community.
