NSFF | Le voile du bonheur (The Veil of Happiness)

Join us for a captivating film experience featuring a blind Chinese poet who finds comfort in the belief of goodness in the world. When suddenly regaining sight, he confronts harsh realities and faces a life-altering decision. Accompanied by the original music composed by Gabriel Fauré for Georges Clemenceau's stage play, this unique film features non-professional Chinese actors, adding layers of authenticity to the storytelling. Despite being incomplete, the surviving material tells a powerful narrative, restored by CNC in France. Don't miss the live premiere of a new score composed by Daan van den Hurk for this special screening, alongside the short film 'Fantastic Flowers'. Immerse yourself in a weekend of silent film and live music with a day pass or festival ticket!
