Piercing Brightness

Synopsis: Piercing Brightness is a science fiction film directed by internationally acclaimed artist Shezad Dawood. The film utilizes science fiction as a backdrop from which to contest fixed notions of race, migration and identity. The plot interweaves elements of documentary, within a character-driven narrative involving the different and changing communities in Preston, in the North of England and points to Lancashire's position as having the highest UFO sighting rate and the fastest growing Mainland Chinese population in the UK. The film combines digital and analogue processes, high production values and low-fi aesthetics to tell a story through both its narrative and distortions of time brought about by experiments with the various formats used. The story begins with Jiang and Shin, a young Chinese boy and girl, who land in a spacecraft outside of Preston. They have been sent on a mission to retrieve the 'Glorious 100' - agents who were sent to this planet millennia ago to study and observe

We're being followed.

I think you should put those away.

Why have we come here anyway?

We're blending in.

Acclimatizing.

Do you know where we are going?

No.

Idiot. We don't have any money.

What is he talking about?

He is a contact. He is uncorrupted.

How can you be sure?

I have seen it. He can be trusted.

Are you sure about him? He may have

been here too long. He's erratic.

Yes. I remember him. Don't you?

The class clown.

Are you certain he's not corrupted?

What would we want with food?

We can't wear these.

Choose something for me to wear, kid.

The Glorious 100 were sent to secretly

observe the birth and development

of another planet for the mutual

benefit of our world and their world.

The return of the 100 remains

the primary mission goal.

This is primitive. It must

take up so much time.

I can't believe this problem

has not been addressed.

Our host seems quite taken

with these earthly ways.

It's possible he is not as

uncorrupted as we first thought.

I want to observe the humans.

We should wait here where it's safe.

Naseer can tend to us.

No. If we return home tomorrow

what stories can we tell?

We have eaten food.

We have watched yet more films.

But we have experienced nothing.

I have not even managed

to light this cigarette.

It's unsafe. We need to guard the stones.

Naseer can look after them.

We need to experience this planet.

It's an opportunity that

will never be repeated.

Come on...

just for a short while.

It's foolish.

What if something goes wrong?

Nothing will go wrong.

How could it?

I wonder where they've gone?

Where are they?

Come on, what are you doing? Keep up.

I'm going to "dance".

You're what?

Dance over there.

Don't.

Will we get there on time?

Yes...

Take these...

Make your preparations.

Take them.

Hold them tighter.

The Glorious 100 were sent to secretly observe

the birth and development of another planet...

...of another planet for the mutual

benefit of our world and their world.

We're being followed.

They're getting closer.

How close?

Closer.

How much further?

Damn scoundrel.

Moron!
