Holy Places
6 x 11’ series for Channel 4
11'
1995
Documentary series on people's relationships with unusual places of worship.
"Video has for too long been treated as the runt brother of film but Chris Morphet's team of cameramen showed what the medium is capable of doing, making stunning use of natural lighting. Dissolves melted on the eyes, while the audio post-dubbing was exceptional, and the entire programme a starred first. Throughout the series, director and producer Taghi Amirani has displayed sensitivity and integrity, currently rare attributes among television makers, the collective noun for whom these days, must surely be a callousness." Victor Lewis-Smith Evening Standard
"Holy Places, produced and directed by Taghi Amirani is such a nice surprise." Nancy Banks-Smith The Guardian "This series has proved itself a little gem." Fiona Morrow Time Out
