The documentary "The Night Visitors" explores the beauty and symbolic meaning of moths, blending art with nature's mysteries.
“The Night Visitors” is a film about moths. In large and small fragments, through a critical lens, the film takes a close look at these creatures. While the film is interested in moths as organisms, with fascinating life histories, staggering biodiversity, and a functional importance as indicators of climate change and habitat degradation, its engagement with them is not primarily entomological. Instead, it looks at moths as aesthetic beings and carriers of meaning, aiming for a deep encounter with their beauty and the profoundly different. The night hours, steeped in mortality and loss, offer solace and organize the desire for knowledge about the moths.
