Anselm Clavé 67, 3r - 08100 Mollet del Vallès

CRA’P in collaboration with the Archives OVNI – Observatory of Video Not Identified, presents a video program with a subsequent discussion about the intermediate world: between the visible and the invisible, sleep and wakefulness ...

“ Le Grand Jihad” by Vincent Moon, 9’ (France / Chechnya). No dialogue.

One of the most beautiful and significant practices of the great jihad is the ritual ceremony of dhikr (zikr). Arabic word that means memory ... an intimate reconnection - but within a collective ceremony - with the mystery of the Real ... that is, with the indefinable, un-representable, inappropriate ... beyond all measure, physical or rational.

“ Racines Lointaines“ by Pierre Yves Vanderweerd, 70’ (Mauritania / Belgium). VO. Arabic, French.

Subtitles in Spanish.

Travel through Mauritania in search of a tree. Throughout the journey, encounters with men and women who share their ways of seeing the world and life. For some, the tree is a sign from the invisible world, or a call from the light ... for others it is a tree only seen when you get lost.

“ Trance with the Green Man” by toni serra *) abu ali, 8’ (Morocco). No dialogue.

A search for Al-Jádir الخضر, the inner master. Al-Jádir, literally means the one who grows green, inhabits the intermediate world, the no man's land. The fine gap between the real and the unreal, life and death, sleep and wakefulness.

Limited places with prior reservation: info@cra-p.org / 666 763 504
