I Was Possessed by God (2000)
On Valentine's Day, 1993, Caveh Zahedi decided to ingest 5 grams (a very large dose) of hallucinogenic mushrooms. For the first time in his mushroom-taking history, he had an experience of "divine possession," in which he felt that a divine being took possession of his body and spoke through him, in a voice that was not his, and with knowledge that he himself did not possess. He later tried several times to repeat the experience. I WAS POSSESSED BY GOD is the documentary record of one such attempt.

Treasure Island (1999)
This film has nothing to do with Robert Louis Stevenson's classic story, but rather a naval base of the same name located in San Francisco Bay. Set amid WWII, TREASURE ISLAND follows two American code specialists that are hard at work trying to decipher Japanese messages and sending confusing messages back to deceive the enemy. The film explores sexual themes that were prevalent during the period, but not shown in the movies of that era. Frank, a bigamist, is married to two women and is pursuing a third wife. Samuel and his wife Penny are in a ménage à trois, which he participates in to cover up his homosexuality. As the pressures of the men’s lives begin to eat away at them, the dead body starts to torment Frank and Samuel's subconscious, interacting with the private stories of their lives.

The Trees Were Spelling Love Backwards (2025)
"During Covid, I was contacted online by a woman who lived in Berlin - a French-Caribbean singer and performance artist. She said she was a fan of my work and we started corresponding. These text messages turned into nightly Zoom calls which turned into a desire to meet in person. But travel restrictions in Germany and the US limited our choice to a handful of countries, one of which was England. She had a friend in London with an apartment that was going to be empty at the same time that my ex-wife was taking our kids to Maine for two weeks. So we decided to meet there. She wanted us to make a film together so I suggested we make a film about our relationship." - Caveh Zahedi
