Shiner Dogma

About This Movie

Shiner Dogma is an intriguing documentary that unfolds during the initial days of lockdown. It captures this raw, intimate dialogue between a father and son, layered with personal histories that shape their identities. The pacing feels organic, almost like eavesdropping on a real conversation—there's a certain discomfort but also warmth that comes through. Themes of family, isolation, and the fragility of constructs we build around us are palpable. The film's distinctiveness lies in its simplicity; it’s shot mostly within the confines of a home, and yet it expands into a broader exploration of life under duress. You can feel the weight of those walls as they navigate their shared past, a subtle reminder of how close we can be yet how isolated we often feel.
