Still Night, Still Light (French: Mes nuits feront écho) is a Canadian drama film, directed by Sophie Goyette and released in 2016.[1] The film stars Éliane Préfontaine as Éliane, a woman dealing with depression who temporarily abandons her life in Montreal and travels to Mexico City, where she stays at a home owned by Romes (Gerardo Trejoluna) and takes a job teaching his son to play piano; Romes, meanwhile, is planning to accompany his ailing father Pablo (Felipe Casanova) on a trip to Asia which may be Pablo's last major dream in his life.[2]

The film's cast also includes Marie-Ginette Guay and Monique Spaziani.[3] It is thematically related to, but not a direct remake of, Goyette's 2011 short film La Ronde, which also starred Préfontaine.[1]

The film premiered at the 2016 Festival du nouveau cinéma,[4] before opening commercially in January 2017.[5]

The film was a nominee for the DGC Discovery Award at the 2017 Directors Guild of Canada awards.[6] It was shortlisted for the Prix collégial du cinéma québécois in 2018.[7]
