ALEPH

Film description

A mystical travelogue, a journey to find that place of connection, of clarity, of understanding across language, geography, and experience. The thoughts, ideas, and dreams of protagonists in ten countries spanning five continents are revealed through conversation, activity, and contemplation. These collective stories serve as pieces of a puzzle that lead to what the Argentinean writer Jorge Luis Borges called “the unimaginable universe.“ Aleph blends cinematic elements of narrative fiction and magic realism and the rigor and mechanics of documentary practice to explore the dreams, stories, preoccupations, thoughts, and lived and imagined experiences of its protagonists – actors, performers, musicians and non-professionals. A unique narrative that introduces us to a different understanding of meaning itself, both revelation and challenge – a venture achieved through play with uncertainty and serendipity.
