THE HOST

by Miranda PENNELL
2015 / HD / color-b&w / sound / 1S / 60' 00

A filmmaker turns forensic detective as she pieces together hundreds of photographs in search of the truth behind British Petroleum’s (BP) activities in Iran; a tale of power, imperial hubris and catastrophe. The film asks us to look, and look again, at images produced by the oil company, together with personal photos taken by its British staff in Iran– including the filmmaker’s parents– not for what they show, but for what they betray.
