The Darkness of Day is a gripping exploration of a heavy subject – suicide – through found footage. The 16mm material, once forgotten, captures raw emotions of isolation and despair. It's not polished, but that’s what gives it an unsettling authenticity. The pacing is deliberate, allowing each frame to linger, almost forcing the viewer to confront the themes rather than simply observe. The voice-over, drawn from a brother's journal, adds a deeply personal touch, revealing layers of grief and contemplation. There’s an eerie beauty in its starkness, making it distinct in the documentary genre. It’s a tough watch, but one that lingers long after the credits roll.
