Allegory of Cave Men
Allegory of Cave Men, is a feature-length film which takes us into a journey through different interwoven realities, times and events with seven different stories told by seven sleepers in a cave shot in the Province of Sindh in Pakistan. Each personal, poetic and political narration offers a complex journey into a dream-like state to the deep dark places where some truths are hidden to be dug up and tell a story. Each narration is reinforced by a visual collage with Dutch colonial film footage from EYE Film Museum’s collection.
