SOUNDS LiKE CHAOS presents Ballyman, a powerful short film by Faruq Adigun, exploring the blurred lines between psychosis and spirituality. Directed by Roisin Feeny and co-produced with VIDEOfeet, Ballyman follows Deji, a young Black man from South East London, as he navigates the city cloaked in his balaclava. As his mental state deteriorates, a new path of self-discovery begins to unfold one that’s as isolating as it is enlightening.
