The last days of the dinosaur appeal to the imagination. After a meteor impact, the entire planet was shrouded in dust, leaving no ray of sunlight to reach Earth. The day the sunlight stopped shining focuses on the end of the dinosaur era. Hard science is complemented by a sense of longing, humor, absurdity and melancholy.
This documentary questions where man's eternal fascination with the dinosaur comes from and reflects on the unrequited love between man and primal animal. The day the sunlight stopped shining is a collaboration between researcher Cem Berk Şenel of the Vrije Universiteit Brussel and directors Maria and Frederik Stuut.
