Kitâb alisfâr Book of the Journey

An immersive cinematic poem of a 7 year journey of return Kitâb alIsfâr Book of the Journey weaves together stories of neardeath and mystical experience in Andalucia According to the director When I was 19 I set out hoping I could learn the meaning of life by experiencing everything I bought a car for 20 marks in a cafe in Ulm I spray painted it yellow and green and drove it from Holland to Romania to Spain sleeping in the back seat in a red blanket Driving down to Málaga at the crest of the mountains the brakes went out As the car sped down the mountain then crashed I lost consciousness followed by three days and nights of visions What did I see what did I understand The Shaykh alAkbar Sufi mystic and philosopher Ibn Arabî writes that the journey only has true meaning if it brings a new beginning In traveling the heart becomes the goal of the journey
