What if the night was consumed until it disappeared completely?

Perpetual Radiance is a short film that exaggerates the effect of 21st century’s artificial light conditions and the consequent disappearance of the night sky. The story is set in a future where the darkness doesn’t exist any longer, glowing with the uncontrolled use of ALAN (Artificial Light at Night).

The film juxtaposes a fictional storyline with authentic footage, crafting a surreal yet familiar atmosphere that prompts us to question the subtle vanishing of the present night.
