With an experiential, "you are there" visual style and an immersive soundscape, co-directors Anirban Dutta and Anupama Srinivasan’s NOCTURNES take audiences to a place few can ever visit in person, winning a Special Jury Prize for Craft at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival.

Deep in the pitch-black forest, a few hundred moths are drawn to a piece of hung canvas. Only through this intimate examination can their existence and the happenings of their world be made visible. Though moth life spans are measured in hours and represent only a small amount of the immense biodiversity of their species, in these tiny beings lies a history of our planet and a warning for our future.
