Additional Information

What would you do if the sun did not rise for a day? In 1982 in the Red River Valley of Manitoba, a crowd comes together for the unveiling of a statue, not knowing that a day of total darkness is upon them. Shot on 16mm film using broken Bolex cameras, Levers creates an intimate, dreamlike atmosphere with entrancing sounds, beautiful visuals, and an unsettling storyline that mixes fantasy and reality. Introduction by the filmmaker Rhayne Vermette and performance by the soundtrack composer, Bret Parenteau (Winnipeg).
