Shelter in Place

About This Movie

So, 'Shelter in Place' caught my eye, mainly because it dives deep into the idea of public space through this unique triptych format. It’s based on the poem 'In The Monster’s Mouth' by Phlocus, which gives it this raw, poetic edge. You get three screens, and they really play off each other—each perspective adds layers to the understanding of what it means to be in public. The tone is contemplative, almost meditative at times. You feel the weight of those who inhabit these spaces. It’s not flashy; it’s more about the subtlety of human experience and the unseen rules governing public life. The pacing is deliberate, drawing you into each narrative as it unfolds. It’s distinctive for its approach to a topic that’s often overlooked.

Intriguing exploration of public space. · Three screens create a unique viewing experience. · The poem's influence is palpable throughout.
