A hypnotic journey into the fabric of the universe, captured entirely in camera with no visual effects, accompanied by a score from Nils Frahm.
Josef Gatti plays with the fundamental forces of the universe to produce imagery so vivid and strange it seems impossible that no digital trickery was involved. But nothing in Phenomena is faked. Every frame is real, captured entirely in camera, revealing the inner workings of the natural world in ways most of us have never seen. From the subatomic to the cosmological, the scale is dizzying, moving through the forces and elements that shape everything around us. Music from legendary Nils Frahm and an ethereal electronic original score by Rival Consoles give the whole thing a pulse, turning observation into something genuinely physical. Phenomena is the kind of film that only makes sense on a big screen, where the universe can fill the room.
