InterReflections
The second film trilogy by Peter Joseph
Launch
A New Film Series by Peter Joseph, Creator of the World Renowned Zeitgeist Film Trilogy
InterReflections is an experimental, mixed genre narrative feature film by Peter Joseph, adapted from his book The New Human Rights Movement.
This is the first of a trilogy series about a fictional global revolution. Taking place in three time frames, the through-line is connected by the story of Concordia — a hacktivist origination comprised of high-ranking military defectors from around the world. They seek to stop further destabilization of the world in the mid 21st century by strategically shifting technological focus from “weaponry” to “livingry”. Over the course of the three films, the audience will be taken on a journey of global (and intellectual) transformation, while highlighting the real world social potentials (and problems) we have or are on pace to having as time unfolds.
“The new film series is a fantasy style work that takes place in multiple time frames, using the idea of ‘hindsight’ as a driving motif to inspire the audience to think differently about the world we have today… and the world we could have tomorrow.”- Peter Joseph
InterReflections I explores an experimental approach that encompasses fantasy, abstraction and a mixed film genres.
Tell us about the InterReflections Trilogy.
With the first of the series due for release in 2016, the InterReflections Trilogy is a live action, experimental idea I have been working on for about 5 years now. Taking place in three time frames, the first of the trilogy establishes an experimental vocabulary that will define the style of the three-part series as a whole. The films mix together elements of documentary, science fiction, drama, musical, thriller and dark comedy, embraced in a gesture of film noir, InterReflections attempts to show the audience just how twisted modern “normality” really is, defending the films’ aesthetically driven social criticism by intellectually putting the audience in the position of future hindsight. The project takes critically important social themes, from human oppression/inequality to environmental destruction, and aesthetically molds a perspective of humanity’s folly (and potential) that likely remains outside of the awareness of most people.
Do you feel that film provides a unique avenue for self-expression and communication, unlike any of the other seven arts?
As a filmmaker, I have changed my view regarding what really inspires people and I feel the “abstract arts,” — rather than mere cold academic info, hold a powerful place in changing people’s world views. We can tell people technical data all day long and some will absorb it… but the arts have a mysterious way of sneaking behind people’s values and planting seeds for new ideas. I try to walk the line between art and intellect, academia and poetry.
