Twelve night sixty is an independant and experimental feature film. The film is inspired by a french theater play called Nuit.
We had to start with a location : 1260 Atlantic avenue Brooklyn, NY. This location is a warehouse filled with plane parts and old mechanical devices. Our goal was to give a new life to those objects by transforming them in pieces of the decor.
The warehouse becomes the decor, the city, the environment.
The night is omnipresent, she is the frame of this video. There is no wall, no line. The night is the limit.
The bodies of the actors are the main element oh this experiment. Those bodies are observed. The camcorder is spying on them until it intervenes. It becomes an eye, an arm. It takes the power.
The words of this film are made to stuck to the actors skin.
The crew of this movie is proud to be a multicultural association. There is more than twenty different nationalities by confounding actors and technical crew.
