[Frameworks] Films about darkness

[blank]

Hi Albert,

I have a film that I made without removing the lens cover of the camera. Maybe you have already see it, it’s on my Vimeo account: https://vimeo.com/157752374 <https://vimeo.com/157752374>

I don’t know if you’re also interested in mainstream films, but the first one that comes to my mind is 30 Days of Night. There’s also a dystopian film called Perfect Sense in which people lose their senses and I think that at some point (I don’t remember the film very well) they lose their sight and the screen goes black.

Cheers,
Blanca

> “The first image he told me about was of three children on a road in Iceland, in 1965. He said that for him it was the image of happiness and also that he had tried several times to link it to other images, but it never worked. He wrote me: one day I'll have to put it all alone at the beginning of a film with a long piece of black leader; if they don't see happiness in the picture, at least they'll see the black.”
