darker

A hypnotic, dreamlike drift through decaying images and moving bodies, asking you to surrender to its haunting, slow rhythm.

Directed by

Bill Morrison

Overview

With darker, Bill Morrison takes inspiration from David Lang’s restrained and highly detailed score to create what he describes as a slowly lilting depiction of the sublime, in which actors, dancers, and acrobats reappear and disappear back into a bubbling morass of time. Morrison’s films often incorporate imagery from decomposing nitrate films, creating a haunting photochemical effect.
