When Night is Falling

New 4K Restoration
Director's Cut

Long considered to be a pivotal addition to the LGTBQ+ canon, the film centers on the story of Camille (Pascale Bussières), a professor at a Protestant college who is engaged to Martin (Henry Czerny), a respected minister and fellow professor. As ‘career Christians,’ they are urged to get married so that they can become co-chaplains of the New College of Faith. When Camille meets Petra (Rachel Crawford), a wry and flamboyant performer in a modern Felliniesque circus troupe, she is inexplicably drawn to her. Camille pursues this sensual, dream-like woman, throwing her whole conservative life, not to mention her engagement, into disarray. A Canadian classic that was in Official Competition at the 1995 Berlin International Film Festival,
When Night Is Falling tells a lesbian story beautifully photographed by Douglas Koch, catching a romantic, wintry Toronto landscape.
