The Derealisation Effect is an extended essayistic notebook film organised into seven parts, combining archive material, newly shot footage in Las Vegas, San Francisco, Berlin and the UK, and more material taken from The Golden Record. The film’s unfolding philosophy covers Bernard Moitessier’s seven principles of The Derealisation Effect, seven assembled theory fictions from his journals: Architecture of Post-reality, Fictional Space, The Cinematic Shadow, Moving Sideways, Concrete Ghosts, The Video Synthesizer, Decommissioned Reality, and an Epilogue.
