2021 Sundance Film Festival Predictions: Iva Radivojevic’s Aleph

Date:

Covering the limits of this planet a la Herzog, celebrated filmmaker Iva Radivojevic has been working on this multi-character multi-storied docu project for half a decade now. Alpeh has benefitted from support funds from the top organizations including Sundance Institute Documentary Film Program and she was the recipient of the 2017 Sundance Art of Non Fiction Fellowship. Supported by Cinereach, this could easily land at fests such as Rotterdam or Locarno.

Gist: Aleph is a mysterious point (an opening) suspended in space and time that contains the entire universe. It’s hidden in a splintered labyrinth where ten characters play a game of magic. Their collected thoughts serve as pieces of a puzzle that connect the labyrinth and lead to Aleph.

Production Co./Producers: Iva Radivojevic, Madeleine Molyneaux, Vilka Alfier.

Interview: Marjane Satrapi & Vincent Paronnaud – Persepolis

The thrill of meeting Marjane Satrapi reminded me of being 6 years old at Disney Land when I met the living, breathing Cinderella. Except Cinderella was an actress with a blond wig and Marjane is the real woman behind her autobiographical graphic novel, turned movie, “Persepolis”. The distinctive mole on her nose and her dark sultry eyes rose off the page and appeared in front of me, smoking and speaking with a French accent.
