Dear Buyers:
Fresh off its Tribeca World Premiere where all three sold out screenings ultimately turned away people in the rush line, ICAROS: A VISION is a unique film set in the Amazon jungle. We’d be happy to provide you with a screening link and any additional information you desire.
All best,

“…[A] work of beguiling grace…
dramatized with almost trancelike beauty…
and never less than transfixing.”
“A literal and psychological Heart of Darkness.”
“This one-of-a-kind narrative invites audiences
to experience the Amazon
as an almost hallucinogenic escape.“

ABOUT THE FILM:
Looking for a miracle, Angelina lands at a healing center in the Peruvian Amazon where shamans minister to a group of foreign psychonauts seeking transcendence, companionship, and the secrets of life and death. Her perceptions altered by the ancient psychedelic plant known as ayahuasca, she bonds with Arturo, a young indigenous shaman who is losing his eyesight. In their hallucinogenic journeys together they attain a different sense of their destinies. She learns to accept her fears while Arturo, in turn, realizes that he will be able to see in the dark and sing his ceremonial healing songs, the icaros.
Filmmakers Leonor Caraballo and Matteo Norzi have deftly handled this drama by drawing from their own experiences, allowing for a uniquely stirring film that touches on the notions of friendship, familial bonds, and the fear of the unknown. Visually inventive and hypnotic in nature, ICAROS: A VISION captivates with its meditative look at a little-seen world, punctuated by truly trippy depictions of ceremonial splendor.
