Cinema fascinates us with its dazzling lights and iconic scenes. We praise actors and directors, but a crucial chapter remains untold: the unseen heroes. For countless hours, toiling in dimly lit labs, they were the invisible artisans who breathed life into every frame. They developed film negatives, meticulously cut reels, and ensured perfect exposure - the silent partners without whom the magic wouldn't exist. Ethos of Darkness rectifies this oversight.

Ethos of Darkness promises a powerful tribute to the forgotten heroes who shaped the cinematic landscape., Through interviews with veteran film technicians, archival footage, and behind-the-scenes glimpses of iconic movies, Ethos of Darkness reveals these unsung heroes' passion, dedication, and artistry.
