Short Abstract
The doctoral project Darkness as Material examines darkness as material and its relationship to cinematic storytelling. The project is inspired by Marguerite Duras' idea to kill cinema, and it explores film's potential to approach the place she described as the dark room, where we are deaf and blind, and passion is possible.

Language
The defence is held in English.
