Días de Luz (Days of Light)

“Days of Light” brings together six up-and-coming Central American filmmakers to tell the story of a solar storm which leaves the area without power or telecommunications for days. Disconnected from the technology they normally depend on, the characters in each of these stories will have to face life on its most basic terms. “Days of Light” may, at first glance, be following on the footsteps of the traditional anthology films. But it is truly a collaborative effort, each director turning in a first draft of their respective stories that were turned into one cohesive whole by directors Borges and Pérez Him. The result is a narrative that is faithful to each filmmaker’s vision and an introduction to a region whose filmmaking output is often overlooked.
