Asleep

About This Movie

Asleep is a 2012 experimental documentary directed about the Capelinhos volcano located on the Azorean island of Faial. Shot in Super 8, the film showcases a unique approach to documentary filmmaking.

'Asleep' remains somewhat obscure, likely due to its experimental nature and limited distribution, which makes it a unique find for collectors. There's not much in terms of physical formats; I’ve only seen a few limited runs of it in specialty collections. The scarcity certainly adds to the intrigue around it, and those who appreciate experimental film or nature documentaries tend to hunt for a copy when they can. It seems to have a niche following, especially among those interested in avant-garde cinema.
