A new “film-painting,” shot in 16mm, in which, in the twilight, a blue car travels along a road, between mountains and dead leaves. At the wheel, as time passes, a woman sings a disturbing and sweet lullaby, dedicated to a child we cannot see. As a tear runs down her face, her gaze shifts away from the road and turns toward the viewer. Then it gets lost.

Anouk Chambaz proceeds in a zigzag pattern, and while on the one hand she brings the camera very close to the protagonist's face, with extreme close-ups (as she has already shown us in her previous works), thus transforming the face into the material through which the work comes to life, on the other hand she looks down on the car and the winding roads. This point of view challenges the centrality of the human being in order to assert the quiet and placid force of nature, setting the scene in a space and time suspended between the mountains and feelings.

Antonio Pezzuto, Filmmaker Festival, 2025

Songs lead us to latent memories and lost loves. Sometimes watching Di Notte I just wanted to sit
beside the protagonist and talk to her, see if she was alright. In this short film Anouk Chambaz has
managed to evoke endless experiences across time and continents, her song is all of our song.

Allison Grimaldi Donahue, 2026

For the extraordinary maturity of her directorial vision and her ability to construct a narrative of profound emotional intensity through an essential language. In Di Notte, the artist entrusts light, sound, rhythm, and the evocative power of moving images with the task of expressing what escapes words. Through a few carefully selected elements and rigorous control of form, she creates a cinematic experience that moves through memory, imagination, and the unconscious, demonstrating how video can reach the deepest layers of human experience.
