BARCC is copresenting a virtual Q&A session in English and Spanish over Zoom and Facebook Live with the Doc Yard about the film Night Shot (Visions Nocturna). Director Carolina Moscoso and Bella Alarcon Flores, a BARCC senior bilingual clinician, will take part in the discussion, which will be led by Doc Yard Curator Abby Sun.
The film is online and will be available to watch from December 11 to 17. You can see it for free by using the discount code NIGHTSHOT_VISION. The film is in Spanish, with English subtitles.
Content note: this film is about a survivor’s personal experience with sexual violence and the criminal legal system.
The Doc Yard describes the film: “This quietly furious and life-affirming debut from Chilean filmmaker Carolina Moscoso brilliantly carries the weight of deep personal trauma. Night Shot’s images of Moscoso’s video diaries and filmed experiments as a film student undergird a narrative of her rape from eight years ago, and the re-traumatizing and discriminatory practices of an uncaring legal system that does more to protect abusers than seek justice. She avoids the violent, domineering logics of investigations while never sanitizing the events, but also resists wallowing in salaciousness or imposing emotive catharsis. Instead, we see the raw stuff of life, celebrations of birthdays, the blossoming of new love, and, most importantly, the freedom and radical resistance of filmmaking.”
