The Box of Sun (French: La boîte à soleil) is a Canadian film, directed by Jean Pierre Lefebvre and released in 1988.[1] Told without dialogue, the film is set in a surreal fantasy world in which the sun has been blocked from the sky, but a group of children have access to a source of light hidden in the forest; it stars Arsinée Khanjian as a young woman who seeks out the children for their help in reviving her lover (Atom Egoyan).[2]

The film premiered at the 1988 Festival of Festivals.[3]
