Phase 03 · The Film

A film about the disappearance of the night

Eclipsed is a thought-provoking documentary that challenges viewers to confront the issue of light pollution — a growing phenomenon that dims the night sky's brilliance and disrupts the delicate balance of our environment and health.

Long before the birth of civilization, humanity looked to the stars for guidance, for stories, and for meaning. We deified them, built myths and sciences around them, and, eventually, tried to reach them.

That cosmic connection shaped who we are. Now, that connection is fading.
