Apostoly Peter KouroumalisJanuary 27, 2025A precursor to the NFB funded "streaks in the mirror" tells the tale in avant garde fashion in the vein of Maya deren films where the film maker experiences are the film.
The film maker embarks on a journey through the use of narcotic drugs (none were actually used) and experiences hallucinations which prompt the viewer to experience along with him.
Shot with a 3ccd camera, bought with a paycheque from working as a production assistant to John Woo.
"The film did well in Abel Ferreras festival in NYC, in an interview he gave before the screening he mentioned this film(ascension) and " the rapture" and challenged other film makers to decide if they were really films at all before awarding them and sendung "ascension" to Cannes short film corner in 2006,a huge surprise to me.
