Editor
Role: Editor
Duration: 35 minutes
For: Hofesh Shechter Company
Hofesh Shechter’s iconic stage work Political Mother explodes onto the screen as an UNPLUGGED, unapologetic and exhilarating new short film.
From behind the lens, Shechter brings Battersea Arts Centre's imposing architecture and intimate spaces centre stage, immersing audiences within a fragile world of raw emotions as a group of individuals struggle against the complex structures that define their world, and ours.
The film was edited entirely remotely in the Summer of 2021. Extract taken from 35 minute version.
