The Bengali Night

1980 • Directed by

“ Cinema is what happens between frames," said German experimental filmmaker Werner Nekes. A woman and a man are on the ground together but it looks as though they are floating without moving. Silence overruns the scene; she stops and walks away. La Noche Bengalí is a documentary made as part of the seminar that Wernes Nekes held in Buenos Aires in 1980, sponsored by the Goethe Institute.
