Filmmakers Anirban Dutta & Anupama Srinivasan IN PERSON in conversation with Lisa Kleiner Chanoff after the Sat, Nov 9, 6:45pm show!

In the dense forests of the Eastern Himalayas, moths are whispering something to us. In the dark of night, two curious observers shine a light on this secret universe. Together, they are on an expedition to decode these nocturnal creatures in a remote ecological “hot spot” on the border of India and Bhutan. The result is a deeply immersive film that transports audiences to a rarely-seen place and urges us all to look more closely at the hidden interconnections of the natural world.

“Breathtaking. A ruminative meditation upon the mysteries [of moths]. An experience to be welcomed.”
— Screen

“A meditative and beautiful film… but also a call to action, a reminder of the beauty of the world, but also the fragility of it.”
— Film Inquiry
