Nightflower

Directors: Rosie Feerick and Peter Ackerman

Support from: 4th District Productions

Artificial light pollution is changing the behavior of species and impacting their ecosystems. We journey to the meadows of the Swiss Alps with nocturnal pollinators, dive into nighttime light-fishing practices in Thailand, learn about the dark sky parks of Ireland, and explore the astronomical Indigenous knowledge preservation underway in eastern Namibia, all to ask; What is the importance of darkness to life? And why must we protect it?
