Dark Days

Dark Days, a feature length documentary about a community of homeless people living in a train tunnel beneath Manhattan is a remarkable film, not only for its sensitive and fascinating exploration of the homeless in New York, but for the actual filmmaking process. Filmmaker Marc Singer abandoned life on the outside to spend all of his time in the tunnel, making it his home for two years. Dark Days is an eye-opening experience that shatters the myths of homeless with the strength and universality of the people it represents.

At its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival this January, Dark Days took home three awards: Best Cinematography, Freedom of Expression and the Audience Award for Documentary. At its recent opening in New York, the film broke the box office record at Film Forum previously held by Paris is Burning.

Dark Days opens in the Bay Area on Nov. 24: Lumiere in San Francisco, UC Theater in Berkeley, Towne 3 in San Jose; and Dec. 1 at the Rafael Center in San Rafael.
