Night to be Gone

The screening will be followed by a Q&A with Director Loren David Marsh, moderated by Bay Area critic Michael Fox.

“Immensely thrilling…a subtly observed study of the dialectic between storytelling and mistrust.“ — Ulrich Kriest, Filmdienst.de

“A small, raw film…with the kind of strengths that only films made with true passion have.“
Michael Meyns, Programmkino.de

“Suspenseful and bold from the very first frame, Night to be Gone keeps the tension high
till the end with plot twists that few will see coming….a gem of an independent film.“
Matthias Merkelbach, der-film-noir.de

Omer and Carine are a pair of grifters, hustling at the pool table in order to make fast cash. Both of them are running away from pasts that continue to haunt them: Omer as an African refugee, Carine as a French woman whose life was mired in drugs. When the two arrive in Berlin, Omer challenges a notorious pool hustler, The Sultan, to an all-night showdown that may finally earn them both enough money to move on. But they wind up getting hustled themselves, forcing them to rethink their plans — and what they mean to each other.
