2nd Game

A film using footage from an installation/exhibition of Jamshid Haghighat-Shenas’ work which shows his view of the world surrounding him.

Reflections of a Director:

Jamshid Haghighat-Shenas recently held an installation/exhibition that was open to the public for only a few days yet the artists could not stop thinking about the idea of his show. He asked me if I could turn the idea of the installation into a short film, but not make it just a documentary of the installation itself. We decided to make it a film about his state of mind regarding the show. After interviewing him on camera for hours I came up with an idea, and it coincided with my listening to a new album by Hushiar Khayam “Tatari” which fit with this film I was in the process of making so I incorporated sound bites from the album. All the images in the film are creations of Haghighat-Shenas’s exhibited at his show. In this film I translated the artist’s visual mentality into the medium of film. This film was produced with a minimal budget and I consider it one of my experimental works. The artist stated that my film was a good representation of his artistic mental state.
