Description

WHEN DID YOU LAST SEE THE STARS?'Look at a satellite image of the Earth.

Where it was once as dark as night, it is now lit up like a Christmas tree.

If you zoom in on a city, you'll see floodlights, neon lights, car lights, and streetlamps.

If you zoom in even further, to your own bedroom, you might see lamps and TV, tablet, and phone screens. Humans have always struggled with the dark, but isn't it light enough now?

What is all this artificial light doing to us and everything else that lives?

What is it doing to our sleep patterns and rhythms and bodies?AN ODE TO DARKNESS explores our intimate relationship with the dark: why we are scared of it, why we need it and why the ever-encroaching light is damaging our well-being.

Under the dark polar night of northern Norway, journalist Sigri Sandberg meditates on the cultural, historical, psychological and scientific meaning of darkness, all the while testing the limits of her own fear.
