In Greek mythology, Nyx (Νύξ, "night"), Nox in Roman translation, is the deity of the night. A shadowy figure, Nyx stood at or near the beginning of creation, and was the mother of personified gods such as Hypnos (sleep) and Thánatos (death). Her appearances in mythology are sparse, but reveal her as a figure of exceptional power and beauty. She is found in the shadows of the world and only ever seen in glimpses.
In Hesiod's Theogony, Nyx is born of Chaos; her offspring are many, and telling. With Erebus the deity of shadow and darkness, Nyx gives birth to Aether (atmosphere) and Hemera (day). Later, on her own, Nyx gives birth to Momus (blame), Moros (doom), Thanatos (death), Hypnos (sleep), the Oneiroi (dreams), the Hesperides, the Keres and Moirai (Fates), Nemesis (retribution), Apate (deception), Philotes (friendship), Geras (age), and Eris (strife).
In his description of Tartarus, Hesiod says further that Hemera (day), who is Nyx's daughter, left Tartarus just as Nyx entered it; when Hemera returned, Nyx left. This mirrors the portrayal of Ratri (night) in the Rigveda, where she works in close cooperation but also tension with her sister Ushas (dawn).

Plot: A huge fallen tree plays a central role in surreal, sinister short, Not Dark Yet. It attracts Lucy who stumbles, lost, into the quiet watchful grove. Here she arouses the curiosity of the tree's mischievous residents, personified by strange figures that inhabit the tree. Whether they are spirits, nymphs or even figments of Lucy's imagination, we are left unsure, but they embody a playful, yet vaguely threatening force - one in particular develops a fascination with Lucy. It isn't immediately clear whether Lucy has seen the figures that flit around her, but as they begin to increasingly invade her space, some unspoken interaction develops and soon they are performing a disjointed dance that draws hapless Lucy deeper and deeper into their world.

Plot: Phoebe, a young girl from the underground city of Anthropolis, wonders what lies beyond the cave her people call home. This short film is hand-drawn, inspired by the art of Alfons Mucha, Hayao Miyazaki, Charles Rennie Mackintosh, and others. 'Cave' draws from the philosophy of Plato as well as contemporary thought, dealing with the problem of evil, and the nature of reality, in the context of a fantastical adventure story. The result is a visually striking film that aims to inspire the mind as well as the eye.

Plot: Onan, a delirious assassin and survivor of the End of Times, is contacted by his shady coalition for his ultimate Mission: To seek and destroy Spassky, whose ungodly Nose has already inhaled entire galaxies and civilizations into complete in-existence... To find Spassky, Onan must first acquire Lucifer's Molar, a rare and priceless drug that might just lure Spassky into a trap. The quest carries him through a bleak world of absurdity: a land patrolled by a gang of pseudo-religious punk vigilantes constantly 'cleansing' citizens inside the confession booth attached to their "truck-church"; through subterranean Goth taverns with grisly showgirls and coke inhalation competitions; across flamboyant transvestite drug lords employing canine bag-men to run deals.
