Blue Veil
Directed by Shireen Alihaji
United States | 6 minutes | 2022
Shireen Alihaji is a Latinx, Iranian, Muslim, Disabled filmmaker born and raised in L.A. Her revolving identities inspire her to create space through film technologies for intersections to exist and expand. Alihaji's work interrogates a connection between memory and healing. Her films use memory to create a counter/contra gaze that un-censors the imagination, de-internalizes surveillance, and mirrors infinite self-reflection.
Alihaji's short film "Blue Veil" is a proof of concept for her first feature film. The feature length screenplay for Blue Veil was placed on the Inaugural Cannes List, Black List X Muslim List, Respectability Lab, Athena Writers Lab, Women in Film Mentoring Program, The Gotham's Owning It Challenges, and published in the The Blue Print for Muslim Inclusion (Pillars Fund, Riz Ahmed / Left Handed Films, USC Annenberg Inclusion Initiative). It was one of the ten scripts considered for the Cassian Elwes x Sundance Fellowship.
