Black Sun is a documentary film directed by Gary Tarn that premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2005.
Gary Tarn investigates this through the story of Hugues de Montalembert, a New York-based artist and filmmaker who was blinded by a vicious attack in 1978. After the attack, Montalembert learns to cope with his despair and to go through life a new way, seeking to make ordinary things extraordinary. Defying expectation, the remarkable artist continued to travel the world alone, learning to navigate life in a new and beautiful way. Through creative imagery and philosophical narration, director and composer Gary Tarn creates an expressionist, poetic meditation on an extraordinary life without vision, and the idea of perception in general.
