Luminous Void: Docudrama

2019 · 71 min

A hypnotic, disorienting plunge into feverish images and sounds that feels like a dream you can't quite wake from.

Directed by
Rouzbeh Rashidi
Genres
Horror, Science fiction, Documentary
Starring
Michael Higgins, Maximilian Le Cain, Jann Clavadetscher
Overview
A documentary like no other. Starting with the bizarre practices and fantasies of a group of filmmakers working under the label Experimental Film Society, it spins off into a manifesto of light and sound. This dazzling journey through a view of cinema as cosmic ritual and erotic delirium is also an idiosyncratic celebration of the medium itself. Rouzbeh Rashidi’s ornate visual style unleashes a parade of visionary scenes that redefine movie magic as a fevered hallucination.
