Synopsis
A dwindling volcano, an owl’s secret passageway and a dead-end tunnel are some of the exhibits in this private collection of films on darkness. Director Oskar Alegria invited filmmakers from all over the world to make a short film exploring the shadows and mysteries of the dark—and here they all are together. Who ever said filmmaking was all about light?
