Spiritual Myopia

About This Movie

Spiritual Myopia unfolds like a meditation on the overlooked lives in oil boom towns. It’s got this haunting quality, a reflective pace that makes you sit with the discomfort of what’s shown and what’s implied. The work dives deep into the invisible labor of those living in Fort McMurray and Port Arthur, tying personal stories to the broader implications of the Keystone XL pipeline. The visuals are striking too, with a sculptural quality that draws you in, almost like art installations that come to life. It’s not just a film; it’s an exploration of desire and economic forces interwoven in a way that feels both urgent and contemplative.

Spiritual Myopia is a lesser-known piece that deserves attention among collectors interested in experimental and sculptural video works. The film's exploration of socio-economic themes resonates with contemporary issues, making it a unique addition to collections focused on environmental and labor narratives. Its scarcity in physical formats has led to a niche but growing interest among collectors who appreciate avant-garde cinema.
