PROBING THE MYSTERIES OF MIND AND METAPHYSICS
Hilarious, provocative and enlightening, Joel Gunz’s new documentary uses stop-motion animation, green screen effects and video collage to explore fundamental questions of consciousness. Why do we dream? What secrets lurk in our hidden memories? Where do time and memory, dream and reality intersect? With a title inspired by the Surrealist principle of l’amour fou—mad love—Gunz takes a fresh look at Spellbound—Alfred Hitchcock’s famed collaboration with Surrealist master Salvador Dalí—to explore how these concepts shaped the film—and why they’re still potent today.
