A Moonless Night – film from music collective, Snowapple

The strange patrons of a bar become stranger when the moon falls from the sky

The story of ‘A Moonless Night’ evolves in a bar where lost souls congregate, reminiscent of David Lynch's ‘Blue Velvet’ bar, stuck in an endless night. An archetypal bar, with archetypal customers: a diva, a noisy braggart, two chess players following their own rules, and a waiter with his head in the clouds. In the film you follow their obsessions, and also the possibility of redemption. Is it possible to be saved? And do we want to be saved?

The film moves fluidly between forms; poetry, macroscopic images of materials, fantastic landscapes, songs and ecstatic play. The ambition with this film was to create a dystopian universe, as through the prism of a dream or a kaleidoscope- a film that unfolds under your closed eyelids.

The film is an art project also resulting from an alternative reality: during the lockdown of covid-19. In the film Snowapple created a universe where everything comes alive and everything fades away. In short, a total moon revolution around the earth.
