"The title of the programme is very apt - it is about the dark side of man. We live in times when wars, crises, or, for example, technological advances that are frightening to some, are right around the corner. All this is reflected in the five films by the directors of this programme. I believe that after watching Reflections of Darkness, viewers will look back on themselves and perhaps come out of the programme a little different." - Andrius Blaževičius, Competition Programme Director.
