NOCTURNE is set at 15.5vw with the middle three letters in red, standing on a faint vertical stripe field borrowed from the Siena reference - a poster, not a heading. Below it the programme is a real table: seven films with directors, countries, running times, venues and premiere tags, dense enough that the festival looks like it exists.
Siena Film Foundation - The deep study, and the closest peer: a film foundation running condensed display at 90px with a 0.77 line-height and -2.7px tracking on near-black. Its exposed tokens (--white #faf7ef, --red #ff0f00, a vertical stripe field) are the spine of this page.
Mikki Sindhunata - Monochrome brutalism with one hot red. Confirmed the discipline of a single saturated colour against warm white on black, and the all-caps mono micro-labels above every section.
Poster – Homepage - Returned in the same dark search. Contributed the dense bottom-of-fold index treatment that became the programme table's column rhythm.
Fontwerk - From the brutalism pass. Its industrial grey-and-orange specimen reinforced setting section numbers as mono labels rather than headings.
Orpetron - From the same pass; reinforced the stark geometric register and the practice of numbering sections 01 / 02 / 03 in the margin.

Returned a Marquee Hero pick and the canonical marquee component, whose note - 'the type is the design' - the page takes literally.

Pulled the brutalist cohort (Fontwerk, Orpetron, Flow) that set the mono-label and section-numbering conventions.

Found Siena Film - an actual film organisation - plus Poster and Mikki Sindhunata, which is where the palette and the fold composition came from.
--black#0a0a0aThe page ground, taken from the Siena reference's --black. Everything else is one of two colours on top of it.--white#faf7efWarm off-white, Siena's exact --white value. Warm rather than pure so the red does not vibrate against it.--red#ff2d16The one saturated colour, adapted from Siena's #ff0f00. It marks the middle of the wordmark, the closing date, premieres and the section numbers, and appears nowhere else.--grey#7d7d76Warm grey for directors, venues and running times - the programme's supporting layer.--raise#131313A single raised tone for row hovers and the strands band.--rulergba(250,247,239,.16)Off-white at low opacity for every rule in the programme table.
