Exploring the Impossible

In an era dominated by rapid technological shifts and cultural re-evaluations, how do we make sense of experiences that defy standard humanistic, scientific and materialist frameworks? Join us for a screening and an intimate stage dialogue exploring how anomalous human experiences, media and consciousness are redefining our understanding of reality and what it means to be human.
