Filmmaker Joey Shanks is at it again. Done with giant bubbles and teleportation, he’s now onto outer space. Using milk, food coloring, soap, and a piece of glass, Shanks creates cosmic nebulas that he films with a Canon 5DS and converts them to 8K, the highest quality you can get. In a collaboration with PBS Digital Studios for a project called CREATE THE COSMOS, the video is full of swirling and hypnotizing clouds surrounded by twinkling stars that draw the viewer closer and closer, floating through a personal full-screen space mission—albeit a magical, DIY one.

The festival kicks off next month

There’s a dazzling projection art event coming to Sharjah.

Sharjah Light Festival is returning for 2022 with 11 nights of colourful projections and music. If this year is anything like previous festivals, our eyes are in for a treat.

The colourful festival is the first and only of its kind in the region and has been running for over ten years. It attracts thousands of visitors to up to 20 locations in Sharjah each year. The designs are inspired by local culture, stories and traditions.

The 2022 Sharjah Light Festival goes from February 9 to February 20 and is organized by the Sharjah Commerce and Tourism Development Authority.

The festival brings a kaleidoscope of creative lights and colour to Sharjah’s architecture. Diverse locations are featured during the annual show, with light and sound spectacles that transform them. (Have your camera ready.) The festival uses energy-saving lighting technology and all the lights and projectors used have passed certification for environmental compliance.

The Sharjah Light Festival also showcases the emirate’s rich heritage and historical monuments. Local and international artists, musicians and light technicians collaborate to showcase the emirate’s achievements.
