While living in New York, painter and film maker Hugues de Montalembert fell victim to a random attack. As he fought for his life, paint remover was thrown into his eyes - causing him to be permanently blinded. Gradually, de Montalembert learned to come to terms with his loss of sight, and discovered a rare ability to create an internal visual world. He eventually started to travel again - alone - documenting his travels in a series of books. BLACK SUN deals with loss, perception, memory and faith. Combining de Montalembert's audio narrative with stunning visuals, the film articulates the immediate and longer-term consequences of the attack as de Montalembert reflects on his perceptions of the world. Black Sun is a poetic meditation on an extraordinary life without vision.
