DarkSky Greece is supporting the documentary ECLIPSED, a film that explores light pollution and the growing loss of the natural night sky. Through this collaboration, the documentary gains the support of an organization that has long worked to inform the public about the impact of artificial light on astronomy, the environment, and human life.
A key part of this support is the participation of Andreas Papalambrou, head of the Greek chapter of DarkSky International, who appears in ECLIPSED and explains the issue of light pollution. His presence in the film adds an important educational and scientific dimension, helping audiences understand that light pollution is not only an aesthetic problem that hides the stars, but also an environmental, social, and cultural issue with real-world consequences.
The collaboration is especially meaningful because DarkSky Greece is not simply a symbolic supporter. DarkSky Greece presents practical priorities for tackling light pollution, including proper lighting practices and the establishment of appropriate legislation and lighting standards. This aligns with the broader purpose of ECLIPSED: not only to document the problem, but to encourage awareness, reflection, and change.
With Andreas Papalambrou helping explain the issue on screen, and with DarkSky Greece standing behind the project, ECLIPSED positions itself as more than a documentary about the beauty of the night. It becomes a film about what humanity is losing, why that loss matters, and what can still be done to protect the darkness.
