WHEN IT IS DARK

Drama | Live-action | Animation | Silent | 2013

A magical realism meditation on the afterlife, this tale of loss, bittersweet yearning and deep abiding love sees a woman visited by the spirit of her sister during a Newfoundland Mummering in the early 1900s. While the ghost facilitates a romance, it is the love between the sisters that transcends the physicality of death. The film was inspired by the writer/director’s own experience with her sister’s death and a chance encounter with the work of Canadian artist David Blackwood.
