Blond Night (French: Nuit blonde) is a Canadian dramatic short film, directed by Gabrielle Demers and released in 2022.[1] The film stars Patrick Dorneval as an autistic man who lives in an assisted living facility; bored with the regimented social activities in the group home, he goes out one night for a walk through the city, where he develops an intimate connection with Jessy (Dany Boudreault), a young man he meets and helps after seeing him get thrown out of a car.[2]

The film premiered at the Rendez-vous Québec Cinéma's Prends ça court gala in April 2022, where it received a special mention from Denis Villeneuve alongside his presentation of the Coup de cœur Prize.[3]

The film received a Prix Iris nomination for Best Live Action Short Film at the 25th Quebec Cinema Awards in 2023.[4]
