Third Eye of The Shaman

By a mysterious turn of destiny, a boy steps into the sun and disappears. In a different time and space, awakened already as a grown-up shaman, he sends his soul on a journey to the sky. Step by step in a spiritual world, it learns how to walk and see things the way they really are. And while the shaman is in a deep meditation, his soul gets stalked by the demon who wants to steal it.

Director Statement

Sorry to admit, but it seems like the majority of the film festivals just do not understand what real art is. Therefore I'm very grateful to those few that still do.
