Strange Phenomena

A visual and aural study of Letchworth Garden City. Through an impressionistic gaze an eerie force permeating through the idyllic suburban town is revealed. References to the esoteric reflect the towns history as a hub for occultist philosophies while a gutteral soundtrack suggests an anxiety connected to the viability of the Garden City Movement in an era where its generally regarded as redundant.

House of Victories

Shirine Shah & Matt Feldman

2022

16mm to HD Video

House of Victories explores the local Islamic community of the writer alongside their musings into socialised identity, the abyss that bridges religions, and the fallacy of language while combining the natural and constructed realities of a hidden self. What begins as an abstract stream of consciousness exploring the slippages between language and gender transforms into a diaristic account of the writer’s return to their childhood mosque and the reconciliation of religion and spirituality. Explored through English voice and Urdu script, the cinematographic intention lies within esoteric truth, and the liberation that comes within not knowing.
