In Praise Of Shadows - Exploring the ephemeral beauty of time, life, and cinema

This insightful documentary is a shimmering dance of light and shadow, a cinematic meditation that weaves Junichiro Tanizaki with the origins of photography and cinema.

Across three hypnotic chapters, it contemplates the ephemeral beauty of life, the fragility of time, and our place in the world—where fleeting darkness and glowing half-light shape the essence of our existence.
