NIGHT STAGE (International Centerpiece)
In this neon-soaked erotic thriller, an ambitious actor and a rising politician enter a dangerous affair of public sex and private secrets—a passion that threatens to consume them both.
Description
Matias, a Brazilian theatre actor hungry for mainstream success, begins an erotic power game with a discreet man who shares his taste for risky public sex. When Matias discovers his new fling is a rising politician on the verge of a major campaign, their affair quickly becomes a dangerous liability.
Directors Filipe Matzembacher and Marcio Reolon (HARD PAINT, NewFest30) deliver a singular, contemporary erotic thriller—one that reimagines what it means for public figures to live openly today. NIGHT STAGE dazzles with neon style, drawing bold parallels between the polished lives we perform in public and the dangerous desires we play out in the bedroom—or a dark alleyway, as the case may be.
“In an era deprived of bold erotic thrillers, NIGHT STAGE feels uniquely modern and queer by tapping into the taboos of sexual power play, using a stylistic contrast of bright neon lights and dark shadows to show how we present ourselves in public and in private.” – Jorge Molina, Industry Manager & Programmer
