Film Description:
Creative documentary ‘Grant Sheehan: Light, Ghosts & Dreams’ reveals the life and art of avant-garde New Zealand photographer and publisher Grant Sheehan and his visual AI explorations. Spanning more than four decades, Sheehan’s exquisite soulful images traverse many genres of photography, from his life-long obsession with lighthouses and heritage architecture, to his trailblazing night photography and drone photography. Delving deeply into his cutting-edge projects, the film explores larger questions about humanity, artistry, and technology.
Sheehan’s early fascination with science fiction and abstract art informs his dedication and passion for AI experimentation. The kaleidoscopic documentary follows his journey as he sets out to explore, as a photographer, what an AI might see if it dreams. Accompanied by a dynamic soundtrack by Rhian Sheehan (Grant’s son), Tyaan Singh and Grammy Award WINNER Jim “Kimo” West, the inspiring film transports us as we glimpse the world in new ways and reflect on our place in the universe through Sheehan’s unique lens and artistry.
