The Light of the East documentary tells the story of the relationship between light and image. Film is born in the dark. It has been sensitive to light since its creation. It has only one chance to meet with the light. Light is its meaning and its destiny. In this journey film will have been through a lot of troubles. Waiting for days alone in the dark, being burned by the light, drowning in the chemical filled tanks will make him find himself. All this trauma is to find beauty.
