has acquired U.S. distribution rights to Payal Kapadia’s “A Night of Knowing Nothing” which won the Golden Eye award for best documentary at Cannes.
The documentary is set in contemporary India, at the local film and television Institute, where a student writes love letters to her estranged lover. The docu also delivers a snapshot of the drastic changes taking place within the school and across the country as young people take the streets to protest against discrimination.
“A Night of Knowing Nothing is a rare film of quiet power and heralds the arrival of a fresh voice on the world cinema stage,” said Cinema Guild president Peter Kelly, who negotiated the deal with Wouter Jansen of Square Eyes.“We can’t wait to share Payal Kapadia’s sensitive and incendiary work with audiences across the U.S.,” added Kelly.
