Structured as a labyrinth-like game and inspired by Jorge Luis Borges, Aleph is a travelogue of experience, a dreamer's journey through the lives, experiences, stories and musings of protagonists spanning ten countries and five continents.
Direction
Radivojević treats continents as sentences in one endless run-on thought.
Cinematography
Deserts, monasteries, cities—each frame begs to be hung in a gallery.
Writing
Borges would be insufferably pleased with this adaptation of his spirit.
Director
Iva Radivojević
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Radivojević filmed over five years, often arriving in countries with no fixed plan—she found her subjects through literal wandering, mirroring the film's own structure.
The title references Borges's 1945 story 'The Aleph'—a point in space containing all other points. The film treats the entire globe as exactly that.
