Picture Of Light is an hallucinatory tale which documents a filmmaker’s journey to Canada’s arctic in search of the Northern Lights. While combining glimpses of the characters who live in this remote environment and the crew’s both comic and absurd attempts to deal with extremes, the film reflects upon the paradoxes involved in trying to capture the natural wonder of the Northern Lights on celluloid…aurora borealis… the lights with no bodies, pouring colours from the sky… images provided by nature more special than any special effect… Their majesty and mystery lead the film to a most unexpected and haunting finale which considers the future of our relationship to technology and Nature, in an increasingly artificial or “virtual” world…
