Born in Paris in 1977, Vincent Moon is the alter ego of devil-does-all Mathieu Saura. Music pounds like a central vein running through his body of work. Famous for introducing the concept of 'Take away shows' and the website La Blogotheque with his friend Chryde.
In a year, he shot over a hundred clips with bands like REM, Arcade Fire, Sufjan Stevens, Beirut, Grizzly Bear and many more. He perfected a style immediately recognizable of intimate, fragile, dancing and shadowing long shots.
He also directed larger video or web projects with The National, Arcade Fire and REM.

A skin a night is ticket to follow The national on the journey that finished in Boxer, the last album of the band. For no one is an easy ride, because not even the band was sure of what they had been doing 'sometimes it feels we started in the middle of nowhere'.
Vincent Moon recorded perfectly those emotions, those spaces for creations, the moments that reflect when and where the artists were looking inside for brings to life the songs. You will know the band from the bottom, how they work, how it grows from a simple guitar to a whole song.
The film will take you trough developing the album, a trip to the studio, a trip to the heart of the band. Over images, sound, colour and silence that make you believe the right things; will make you see inside the eyes of the guys of the National comprehend what cause take them to created this album, this way, this end.
