Voodoo Science Park I Films I Halford and Beard

Voodoo Science Park (2009)

Our film traces a secret geography of the Health and Safety Laboratory in the Peak District, where train crashes and industrial accidents are re-created to examine their destructive pathways. Mixing fact and fiction, the film imagines a delayed encounter between poet William Blake and political philosopher Thomas Hobbes.

"A fascinating, Keiller-esque meditation on Hobbes’s Leviathan, the covert geographies of Albion and post-Ballardian crash theory.”

Sukhdev Sandhu

“Voodoo Science Park’s synthesis of fiction and non-fiction is so subtle that it is perhaps the best example yet of what the Italian fiction collective Wu Ming call an ‘unidentified narrative object’.”
