New Short Films Highlight Kabbalah Concepts

Posted by Mark Zimmerman Mar 16, 2009

Illuzia is a new short film series created by Vladek Zankovsky, comprising various Kabbalah concepts, each film playing out a Kabbalah concept with satire, perceptual displacement, humor and suspense.

As Zankovsky states, "In Illuzia, I wanted to put across ideas I’ve received from my study of Kabbalah. There are unique ideas in Kabbalah that many people are still unaware of, and which people can benefit so much from, and I have yet to see such ideas explored in film. So I saw a place for communicating these ideas across in an entertaining and easy-to-grasp way. My hope is that these films will spark more interest in this amazing wisdom.” There are thirteen films in the series, and each film is accompanied with a short text elaborating on the Kabbalistic concept that the films represent.

Below are five films from this series on YouTube:

* REALITILLUZIA - a film about reality

* FILMILLUZIA - a film about destiny

* CRISISILLUZIA - a film about crisis

* YOGILLUZIA - a film about spiritual seeking

* ESCAPEILLUZIA - a film about escaping from the day-to-day life
