Monoliths

Three women. Three voices. The northern landscape. Three stories open the world of the English northern landscape in virtual reality, what it means to come from it, live in it and belong to it. Monoliths interweaves radiant renderings of three northern UK environments – a moor, a city and a coast – with sweeping soundscapes and poetic monologues by Hannah Davies, Carmen Marcus and Asma Elbadawi. At once imaginative and immersive, this XR experience is an arresting testament to the inextricable link between person and place. Their stories and origins are tied to the landscape where they come from and have grown up. They are monoliths – standing stones – powerful and influential forces. 2022: Sheffield Doc Fest, Melbourne International Film Festival, BFI London Film Festival (Nominated for best XR & Immersive) and Aesthetica Short Film Festival.
