Written and directed by Mahamat-Saleh Haroun, Soumsoum, the Night of the Stars is a film from Tchad of remarkable beauty and fluidity, built around a world in which everyday reality, ancestral knowledge, the dead, dreams, and the invisible coexist naturally. Rather than treating these elements as fantasy, Haroun presents them as part of a cultural understanding of life in which the visible and invisible worlds are constantly connected.
