Witness of Another World will be available worldwide on Vimeo and Amazon Prime on October 22nd. UFOs aside, the audience watches a man search, not for validation, but for healing. What the film portrays is a man clearly hurt by a traumatic event, who is emotionally and socially removed from his peers and family, simply because he nor they can cope. The fundamental reason as to why the film works is that you don’t need to believe any of it. “This film does not attempt to reveal the UFO mystery but to lead the audience by the hand to walk beside it, to perceive it with their own consciousness and to draw their own conclusions,” Stivelman explained. Vallée interviewed Pérez when he was a boy, and has since held a firm conviction that the young gaucho had an encounter with a non-human intelligence. This really set the title apart from the rest in the genre and why 1091 picked it for distribution,” said Vice President of Paranormal Content Jim Martin.Īpart from Pérez and Stivelman, the film also features computer scientist and author Jacques Vallée, a venerated figure within UFO and paranormal circles. The film's also shot more like a feature than a documentary with beautiful reenactments. “It's deep, emotional, and filmed in a way that fully encompasses what the abduction experience must've felt like. The film is distributed by 1091 Media, formerly the Orchard, which has an established line-up of documentaries that focus on the paranormal and Ufological. To continue with the investigation of the UFO phenomenon, to stay only in the phenomenological aspect, or to attend to Juan, to his suffering, and to look for a way to help him,” Stivelman said. “It was there, as a filmmaker, that I had to make a crucial decision for the rest of the shooting. Stivelman’s Witness of Another World is successful because it really isn’t about UFOs, but about the people who have alleged encounters with them. UFO documentaries usually make the same mistake: they try to "prove" that UFOs are real, or that they are alien, or interdimensional, or paranormal, or something else. “This mission was overshadowed by the acute sadness that Juan brought with him and the desire to understand why he had to have lived through that supernatural experience that marked him for the rest of his life.” “In the beginning, I proposed to make this film in order to decode the mystery behind the UFO phenomenon,” said Stivelman. Living alone, Pérez is still haunted by his alleged encounter. Witness of Another World tells the story of Juan Prez, a lonely gaucho who, as a young boy, allegedly had an encounter with an anomalous aerial vehicle and the strange entities inside. The film dives into Pérez’s life 40 years later. In the 1970s, this incident made headline news in South America and, as the documentary shows, very much ruined Pérez’s life. “Daughters of Destiny” launches on Netflix July 28.Witness of Another World tells the story of Juan Pérez, a lonely gaucho who, as a young boy, allegedly had an encounter with an anomalous aerial vehicle and the strange entities inside. The story later inspired a narrative feature of the same name starring Julianne Moore and Ellen Page. She won an Oscar in 2008 for producing “Freeheld,” a doc short about a lesbian couple’s fight to share pension benefits. Roth filmed the girls for seven years, and chronicles their struggle to re-define gender and class in the classroom and at home. Another adds, “I have the responsibility of giving back to society.” “I have to use the opportunity in order to change the life that I left behind,” one student says. The trailer makes it clear that the girls have taken the school’s mission to heart. “The expectation for these girls and all the children who attend Shanti Bhavan is that they must grow up to support themselves, lift their families and communities out of poverty, and contribute to the larger world,” the series’ official synopsis details. “I will show the world I am that girl who makes doorways of freedom, hope, and relief,” says one of the students at Shanti Bhavan in a trailer for “Daughters of Destiny.” Directed by Oscar winner Vanessa Roth, the four-part documentary series follows five girls growing up at co-ed residential school for “the poorest of the poor,” as the founder of Shanti Bhaven describes.
