The Magician's House

The film serves as both a personal letter to a cancer-stricken friend and a tribute to the art of celluloid. It weaves in the legacy of Athanasius Kircher, known for inventing the Magic Lantern, as it explores the intersection of life, art, and the ethereal.

Musically, the film features compositions from Armenian mystic Georges Gurdjieff and Thomas De Hartmann. Their work, particularly the piece titled "La lutte des Mages" (The Struggle of the Magicians), adds a profound layer to the film’s reflective narrative. Gurdjieff's philosophy on human awareness and existence permeates the film, enhancing its exploration of the mystical and the forgotten in filmmaking.
