Plot Summary:Tea Tupajic was seven years old when the civil war in the former Yugoslavia reached her hometown Sarajevo. The scars the war left play a major role in her work as an artist. Tupajic asked Dutchbat veterans Frank and Harm to spend an entire night in conversation with her. The empty theater gradually darkens. Tupajic wants answers to some painful questions, but she also tries to discover something in the two men that can give her hope. A woman, a man and a camera: through this simple set-up Darkness There and Nothing More concentrates all attention to the words, gestures, and acts in these two meetings, which are often captured in tight camera frames. They show a dialog between two worlds that simply won't combine, despite a shared longing for some kind of deliverance. Harm carries a huge sense of guilt, while Frank is entirely locked off from his emotions. Tupajic tries to explain that none of her family and friends, despite being alive, really survived the war. Are they ever going to understand each other's grief?
「IDFA2021」導演如果生活中也是這種狀態的話希望她有去看心理醫生。在Bosnia時候也有跟當地人說起過Dutchbat,不像這位導演那麼hysterical,但能明顯感受到仇恨。到處都充滿了仇恨。連我穿個球衣出門,都有人過來說「I hate Ajax」的國家,Bosnia是唯一一個。
