Veil is an experimental documentary on communication with a total face blocking burka, told from the inside. With surveillance hidden camera inside a Muslim woman’s burka, it captures the anxiety and near terror in the faces of ordinary people as she casually strolls around a Norwegian shopping centre. We hear their reactions and conceptions of the woman, that expose the social currents that remain unspoken. It’s deceptively simple but the results are at once saddening, curious and occasionally quite funny.
