Experiencing Interruptions?

TRATAK 2 - REVEIL, Heavenly Memories Sometimes Veiled

"TRATAK, Eyes Wide Open in the Dark" is an experimental project of self-produced cinema, born from an idea of ​​non-narrative research of the inner experience, where the sense of history (as for other things ..) is more given by the interpretation and state of the observer (.. " where is ", and what perspective and horizon can get from that point) than from the will of the author.
The film works on multiple levels of metaphor and narration and is structured in 3 phases (or states ..).
Currently the first and second chapter is published and the third will be released in the coming months.
The construction of the story began in 2015 within a project for students of the courses of the Officine Mattoli film school.
Filmed in less than a week at the beginning of 2016, it has been assembled in over 2 years of post-production, where in the meantime the space of common experience (the World) has begun to take shape in a new and unexpected way towards new paradigms and awakening of ancient awareness released by its agents, within History.
If you want to support the project, share and comment on the channel.
In time, many things will be clearer to everyone and even this strange film.
