GFF Dark Night

Tim Sutton’s powerful Dark Night is an uncompromising portrait of an alienated and violent America. Loosely inspired by the multiplex shooting in Aurora, Colorado, Sutton evokes a hypnotic vision of six youths unaware of the imminent brutality they face. Focusing on the banality that contextualises everyday American suburbia, Dark Night builds an almost unbearable tension borne from the darkness bubbling underneath. A hypnotic and powerful film, and a frank depiction of America and its youth in the 21st Century.

Also screening on Sun 19 Feb, 11.15am
