So bright the night

As night advances and the darkness overtakes the light, tranquility reigns. But when most peolpe are drifting off to sleep, others are awaken by the ringing of their alarm clocks. Night workers are on the job from sunset to sunrise. SO BRIGHT THE NIGHT is both a short documentary and a 5-minute piano piece. "A beautiful and lovingly crafted documentary that focuses on various professional groups who work night shifts. The film provides an insight into a strange world in the dark that silently masters its own challenges and shows what happens during the night hours." (Sooner curator Ayla Yildiz)
