The World Unseen is a 2007 historical drama film, written and directed by Shamim Sarif, adapted from her own novel. The film is set in 1950s Cape Town, South Africa during the beginning of apartheid. The film stars Lisa Ray and Sheetal Sheth as two Indian South African women who fall in love in a racist, sexist, and homophobic society.
In 1950s South Africa, a land torn apart by apartheid, Amina epitomizes individuality and freedom. She runs the Location Caf, a haven of fun, food, and festivities open to all. Amina defines her own laws and lives on her own terms, undeterred by the reproving police and the disparaging Indian community.
Amina has a covert business partner, Jacob, who is barred from owning a business because the State considers him to be 'coloured'. He is attracted to Madeleine, a local white postmistress, but the indignities and injustices of the prevalent law thwart their desire to pursue a relationship.
Omar's sister Rehmat married a white man, against rules that forbid mixed marriages. When she needs protection from police, Amina shelters her, and her charm and strength of character captivate Miriam, who secretly rejoices when Amina accepts a farming job in her backyard. Amina notices Miriam's inherent kindness and silent dedication, and the mutual attraction between them grows. They bare their hearts to each other and their emotions get entangled. They contrive another reason to meet: driving lessons.
In the resplendent South African landscape, with retro music strewn in the background, The World Unseen explores Miriam's relationship with Amina and how it empowers her to make personal choices that change her world.
We must therefore endeavor to stir our minds towards serious belief and firm persuasion of divine truths and the deeper sense and awareness of spiritual things. Our thoughts must dwell on divine truths until we are both convinced of them and deeply affected by them. Let us urge ourselves forward to approach the invisible world and fix our minds on immaterial things till we clearly understand that they are not dreams. No, indeed; it is everything else that is a dream or a shadow. (150)
The experience was designed for and with blind and partially sighted people, using elevated prints, immersive audio descriptions, and braille - to ensure as many people as possible can appreciate it. Sighted people, too, gained a better appreciation of the partially sighted experience. Each image was obscured in ways that simulate different types of visual impairment, from glaucoma to diabetic retinopathy.
While it raises awareness of the importance of accessibility in arts and cultural spaces, it also draws attention to how inclusive design makes experiences better for everyone. The exhibition featured works from world-renowned photographers and Canon ambassadors, including multi-award-winning South African photojournalist Brent Stirton and renowned Brazilian Photojournalist, Sebastio Salgado.
Through conversations with renowned photojournalists and an ultrasound practitioner, the films follow a blind mother-to-be as she feels the outlines of her baby scan, while others feel imagery through detailed braille descriptions and life-like textures. The work demonstrates the power of imagery to transform our world, capturing the raw emotion and impact of individuals experiencing photography in this tactile way.
The films are powerful demonstrations of the inclusive imagery on show at the World Unseen exhibition in April.

In 1950s Cape Town, progressive and free Amina (Sheetal Sheth) co-owns a cafe with a black man named Jacob. One day, a beautiful housewife named Miriam (Lisa Ray) visits the cafe, and Amina is instantly smitten. Miriam runs a store outside of town with her husband, Omar (Parvin Dabas), and feels increasingly stifled in her conventional life. She cannot help but give in to her desire when Amina comes calling.
In Cape Town, South Africa, in 1952, the police do all they can to make life miserable for blacks and "colored" Indians. They keep watch over Amina (Sheetal Sheth), a young, free-spirited Indian woman who owns a caf with Jacob (David Dennis), a half-black, middle-aged man who has been humiliated by whites for his entire life. The two of them are proud of the funky place they run and cherish the few moments of pleasure and freedom they can savor there. Amina fondly remembers the independent spirit of her grandmother but has earned the ire of her own mother by wearing trousers and working in a man's world.
When Amina first sets eyes on Miriam (Lisa Ray) in the caf, it is love at first sight. She is a married woman with two children and another on the way. Her authoritarian Indian husband, Omar (Parvin Davas), is a chauvinist who has stifled her spirit and makes her to work with him a small general store. Although his wife is a beautiful woman, he is having an affair.
The World Unseen is directed by Shamim Sarif based on her own critically acclaimed and award-winning novel. The film is written, directed, financed, and produced entirely by women, and it shows in the tender, tentative, and beguiling romance that unfolds between Amina and Miriam. The setting of South Africa and the oppressiveness of apartheid forms the backdrop of this compelling drama about the quest of several main characters for personal freedom. Amina yearns for a place where she can express her lesbian nature without hatred, gossip, and slander. Jacob yearns to respond to the affection of a white woman (Grethe Fox) at the post office but knows that he will not be able to overcome the racism of the community. And Miriam yearns to throw off the shackles of her marriage and be herself without regret.
The World Unseen reveals desire as a force field of energy that takes us beyond ourselves. "You have nothing infinite except your soul's love and desire," said the fourteenth-century Catholic mystic Catherine of Siena. Yearning is the best antidote to oppression, hatred, and rigid thinking. It opens up new doors to those who go with its flow.

"Life in the World Unseen" gives one of the most comprehensive accounts of what follows physical death. Received through the clairaudient mediumship of Anthony Borgia, an old friend to the author, Monsignor Robert Hugh Benson, who was himself a son of a former Bishop of Canterbury. It strongly supports and emphasizes the cause & effect relationship that exists between this life and the next. The information contained in this book was conveyed from the spirit world to a friend and acquaintance, so it is told in the first person, as one who now resides in the spirit world. The communicator, Monsignor Robert Hugh Benson, delightfully shows us, with both humour and compassion, how many of our preconceived notions of 'the next life' are substantially incorrect. One of the great regrets from his earth life was that he too added to this general misconception by his writing The Necromancers, a book which dealt with the subject of spirit return, but which gave a distorted view of the facts. The writing of the present volume, however, has enabled Monsignor to redress his wrongs. On passing to the spirit world, every person, regardless of color or creed, will find themselves the inheritors of precisely the spiritual abode to which their earthly lives have befitted them. The spirit world is the land of the great harvest, the seeds of which were sown upon the earth: "Whatever a man sows, that shall he reap" has its full and just application. Those who find themselves in the bleak and meagre surroundings of the dark realms have only themselves to reproach, for what they see about them is an outward expression of the current state of their spiritual progression. Just as the beauties of the light realms are created and upheld by theirs inhabitants, so have the conditions of the dark realms been brought about: beauty of deed and thought can produce nothing but beauty.
Last week, I had the opportunity to attend Canon's latest exhibition titled World Unseen, an exhibition designed as an immersive experience for the visually impaired audience. I have always been passionate about inclusivity and accessibility in the arts, and I recognize how fortunate I am to be able to enjoy photography with little by way of obstacles. I also realize that this privilege can sometimes make me oblivious to the challenges faced by others who do not have the same access.
Kalum's photography has been published and exhibited around the world, and he continues to photograph on a project-by-project basis. He is currently working on a personal project capturing the people and landscape of Gower, South Wales. Currently untitled, this body of work will be exhibited for the National Trust later this year.
