Beneath the wide wide Heaven

Hisham Bizri

BENEATH THE WIDE WIDE HEAVEN

USA, 2016, 15’ 7”

 

BENEATH THE WIDE WIDE HEAVEN

Pier Paolo Pasolini plays the role of the director as conveyor of human experience in this experimental documentary film. The director is constantly watching, thinking, and feeling, all in the hope that the film, once it stands alone, will be sufficient and whole. And on him is the burden of showing through cinema the human experience of transcendence.

He started working in films in the US and Hungary with filmmakers Stan Brakhage, Raoul Ruiz, and Miklós Jancsó. and has directed 25 short films to date.
