Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Processed at Phil Hoffman's Film Farm, a legendary Canadian artist-run lab where filmmakers hand-process and deliberately damage film as creative practice.
The 'Nighthouse' title plays on Casa de la noche—suggesting shelter and darkness simultaneously, much like Havana itself.
