Fata Morgana

Fata Morgana

197276 min6.5 / 10

A visually hypnotic avant-garde meditation on perception, illusion, and the nature of reality itself, shot across the Sahara with philosophical rigor and poetic abstraction.

Shot under extreme conditions and inspired by Mayan creation theory, the film contemplates the illusion of reality and the possibility of capturing for the camera something which is not there. It is about the mirages of nature—and the nature of mirage.
