This short documentary explores the importance of darkness, and its erosion, told through the study, preservation and celebration of firefly habitats in Japan and the United States. Fireflies are reportedly disappearing, as artificial night lights disrupt their "languages of light." BRILLIANT DARKNESS features artists and scientists on different continents working to understand firefly flash patterns and how to live among wildlife in urban settings.
