Final Summer Nocturnes – A festive goodbye – Saturday, August 16th

The Nocturnes of the 2025 summer season are coming to a close. The 2025 Summer Nocturnes come to a memorable close. The Sutton School of Art, with the mandate offered by the Town of Sutton and the Knowlton Film Festival, has pulled out all the stops to bring you a truly unforgettable final Nocturne! One last unforgettable Nocturne!

6.00 pm: Refreshment bar and foodtruck

7.15pm: Eldorado, a film by Charles Binamé, (FR, s.-t. ANG, 1h45)

It's summer and it's hot in Montreal, and we meet many people: Rita, the nice homeless girl, who moves to Roxan's house, Henriette, who falls in love with her neighbour, Lloyd, the sexual-obsessed radio host, a young couple, Marc and Loulou, whose relationship is in danger because of Loulou's affair with Lloyd, and many more, as the summer becomes hotter and hotter…

A feature film starring Robert Brouillette, Pascale Bussières, James Hyndman, Claude Lamothe, Macha Limonchik, Pascale Montpetit and Isabel Richer.

9.00pm: Pastorale, a short film directed by Francis Leclerc and written by Antoine Corriveau (FR, 17 min)

9.30 pm : Live music performance by Antoine Corriveau. Armed with exceptional songwriting talent, Antoine Corriveau will be presenting solo tracks from his new album, Oiseau de Nuit, a rich and explosive sonic offering. Mordant and offhand, he delivers intense songs that flirt with rock, folk and 90s hip hop. A gripping show of rare intensity, not to be missed.

From Thursday 26 June, the École d'art will be coming alive on Thursday evenings with Les Nocturnes, a series of open-air screenings.
Two facets to discover:

 

  • In collaboration with the Knowlton Film Festival, the evenings of Thursday 26 June and Saturday 16 August will feature auteur films, live music and a number of special guests.

 

  • This year, the family screenings of the Cinéma en plein air de la Ville de Sutton are being held at the École d'art de Sutton as part of the Nocturnes programme. Thursday family evenings (3, 17, 31 July and 7 August) offer a selection of films for young and old to watch under the stars.
