To help launch Darklight’s reboot, we have challenged some of Darklight’s alumni to re-imagine, remix and reboot an iconic film scene of their choice, into a 6-second clip. The result is a collage of invention that truly reflects the festival’s long-standing reputation for formal and expressive creativity.
Funders’ support will cover fees and flights, homes for our special guests, special outdoor installations, transport, hiring and production fees, design and marketing and allow us to bring the most progressive voices in film, digital storytelling, music and art to Dublin city.
We’ve got big plans for Darklight’s reboot this year. Help us make them happen!
