Valentin Noujaïm joins Now Instant for a special presentation of his La Défense trilogy, featuring the Los Angeles premiere of Demons to Diamonds, and the launch of Noujaïm's new artist book Interzone, published on the occasion of his first institutional solo exhibition, PANTHEON, at Kunsthalle Basel.

Screening to be followed by a Q+A with Valentin Noujaïm and Perwana Nazif.

In the cold business district of La Défense, where steel towers pierce a restless sky and CCTV watches every shadow, a wave of suicides expose the fractures of a crumbling society. Strangers move through the streets like ghosts, bound by the invisible threads of paranoia. In the eerie glow of a collapsing city, destruction may be the only chance for rebirth.

Claire (Kayije Kagame), a businesswoman promoting a new skyscraper office in La Defense, faces increasing scrutiny and isolation. The cold, grey offices amplify her loneliness, driving vivid dreams of setting the tower ablaze.

In 1979, the Pacific Club was opened in the basement of La Défense - the business district of Paris. It was the first nightclub for Arabs from the suburbs; a parallel world of dance, sweat, young loves, and one-night utopias. Azedine, 17 years old at the time, tells us the forgotten story of this club and of this generation who dreamed of integrating into France but who soon came face to face with racism, the AIDS epidemic, and heroin.
