Deep State is a film by Noor Afshan Mirza and Brad Butler that has been scripted in collaboration with author China Miéville and commissioned by Film and Video Umbrella. The film takes its title from the Turkish term ‘Derin Devlet’, meaning ‘state within the state’. This shadowy nexus of special interests and covert relationships is the place where real power is said to reside, and where fundamental decisions are made. Developed while on residency in Cairo, Deep State captures the energy of dissidence and uprising – taking the viewer on a journey that is simultaneously visceral as it is beautiful and uneasy.
