Notes from Jolanta Dylewska on shooting In Darkness
As the director of photography, the "actors" I use to tell a story are light, color,
perspective and motion. I knew from the very beginning that in In Darkness, the light
had to be the main protagonist. I set my sight on the following three tasks:
• To make the ‘Darkness’ a metaphor of the Jewish lot during the Holocaust.
• To create the dramaturgy of lighting by which the spectator will be “touched” by the
darkness; he will experience the protagonists' feelings as if he was there with them.
• The main hero, Leopold Socha, a Catholic who voluntarily decides to bear
responsibility for Jewish lives, had to be lit differently from the rest of characters. As
if the light was always with him; even in the ‘Darkness’
From an earlier post:
Thus begins Red's journey with art house favorites. Congratulations Jolanta Dylewska, Lech Majewski and Adam Sikora.
