A Mystery Play was filmed in a monumental and elaborate early twentieth-century Masonic building in Winnipeg, Canada.

Towards the Possible Film

Towards the Possible Film was shot at Legzira beach in Sidi Ifni, Morocco. In a landscape that could well be an alien planet, otherworldly figures appear as if to threaten the peace. Dawood found a deep source of inspiration in the region’s history and the many wars fought in the 1950s and ’60s between Spain, Morocco and the independent Saharan tribes.
