“The Power of Darkness” is a short film create by Christine Ursiny that answers the question ‘what power does the dark hold over us?’ The honest answer I found when filming is that the dark holds our thoughts and emotions. Why do I say that? It’s the culture that surrounds the dark. When the street lamps comes on its the cue to go home, for some the dark represents peace for other it represents fear. The truthful answer is the power of being alone. Alone with our thoughts when the world quiets itself. The dark though beautiful as it may be it carries an air of self-reflection. The time of day when everyone returns from whence their day started.
