Our Partner Uptown Flicks NY presents the Screening of "NO CHAINS NO MASTERS" (Ni Chaînes, Ni Maîtres) a feature-length documentary by Simon Moutaïrou - Followed by a cocktail reception for all attendees!

Simon Moutaïrou’s epic debut inspired by Tarantino's Django Unchained and Steve Mc Queen's Twelve Years a Slave Maysles

"The debut director maintains a staccato, ever-intensifying rhythm throughout, showcasing masterful control. His script’s darkness and nihilism, paired with an unsettling visual style, culminate in an operatic, tragic finale - one that still holds a surprising glimmer of hope." Xavier Leherpeur - La Septième Obsession

SYNOPSIS

Set in 1759 on the French-colonized island of Mauritius, No Chains No Masters is a visually stunning and emotionally charged epic of resistance. When 16-year-old Mati escapes the brutal sugarcane plantations, her flight sparks a relentless hunt led by a ruthless slave catcher (Camille Cottin). As her father defies his chains to save her, Simon Moutaïrou crafts a gripping tale of survival, freedom, and the unbreakable bond between parent and child, culminating in a breathtaking, operatic finale.
