‘Aleph’ is a travelogue of experience. A journey to find that place of connection, of clarity, of understanding across language, geography, and experience. The thoughts, ideas, and dreams of protagonists in ten countries serve as pieces of a puzzle that lead to what the Argentinian writer Jorge Luis Borges called “the unimaginable universe”.
Inspired by a short story from Argentinian writer Jorge Luis Borges, Aleph is a creative documentary—a hybrid feature film that uses elements of narrative fiction and documentary practice to create multiple angles and points of view. The film zooms into the hyper present to observe and document the ties that bind people across space and time. The experience of meaning, as both revelation and challenge, is what drives the film’s narrative. Through play with uncertainty and serendipity, the film constructs its own narrative.
