As its point of departure, it takes locations that in some way or another have been prominent in certain early Hollywood films as places of otherness or, to put it differently, places that have been used as stand-ins for other parts of the world. We see mostly depopulated or deserted landscapes, sceneries shot from vast vistas, images of seascapes and geological formations. The sound work is a dense mix of field recordings, partly voices of people telling stories about the places depicted as well as some sounds from the original films.

Shot in the vicinity of Los Angeles – on grainy black and white 16 mm film stock, "Shadowland" is a subtle, yet forceful new addition to the already impressive filmography of this emerging major filmmaker.
