Dark Days

Directed by Marc Singer

Before embarking on making this documentary, British director Marc Singer had never picked up a camera. Then he loaded up his black and white 16mm and headed into the subterranean world of New York’s abandoned subway tunnels to record the lives of the homeless ‘tunnel people’ who reside there. With the aid of his equally inexperienced subjects as crew members, this fascinating documentary emerges as a gorgeous, insightful and engaging film that’s also a rigorous piece of urban ethnography.

Winner of three Sundance Film Festival Awards, Best Documentary at the LA Film Critics Association Awards and winner of the Independent Spirit Award for Best Documentary.
