Death of Darkness
Jasmijn Schrofer
The solidarity of the North Kenyan community and the way they align with nature’s rhythm moved us. In this honest film you can see the major changes brought about by the transition from darkness to electric light. We Westerners take it all for granted and don't know it any other way, but in Kenya the "death of darkness" brings lots of expectations, hope and struggles.
Death of Darkness
After
Jasmijn Schrofer
This documentary shows us what the Afterparty is actually about in a discreet and non-sensationalistic way. Because have you ever wondered why is it illegal to experiment with our consciousness? AFTER dives into the "hedonistic" night-life of wandering young adults in Amsterdam who push their physical and mental boundaries every weekend to explore 'the meaning of life' in a world that seems asleep to them. What do the students find and see when they step out of the rat race? What deeper human needs are fulfilled at these after-hours when they use drugs together? The film tries to answer these questions while it resembles the experience of being under influence. Some viewers might perceive an escapist and extreme behavior, but underneath is a greater human desire for intimacy and security.
