The trailer for Guillermo Arriaga’s lead anthology film, WORDS WITH GOD, has debuted.
WORDS WITH GOD is based on a concept by Guillermo Arriaga ( AMORES PERROS, 21 GRAMS, THE BURNING PLAIN) with original music by Peter Gabriel (“Why Don’t You Show Yourself?”) and shaped into its current form by Nobel Prize award winner Mario Vargas Llosa.
The faith themed anthology is directed by filmmakers Guillermo Arriaga, Hector Babenco, Bahman Ghobadi, Amos Gitai, Emir Kusturica, Mira Nair, Hideo Nakata, Warwick Thornton and Alex de la Iglesia. Along with Guillermo Arriaga, Alex Garcia and Lucas Akoskin (who both founded BN Films) are producing the film.
In WORDS WITH GOD, each director recounts a narrative centered around human fragility, as well as environmental and cultural crises involving specific religions with which each has a personal relationship; including early Aboriginal Spirituality, Umbanda, Buddhism, the Abrahamic faiths, Hinduism, and Atheism. An animated sequence by Mexican animator Maribel Martinez is woven through each of the film segments, with each segment narratively connected as a feature length film. WORDS WITH GOD is ultimately the first part of the Arriaga-helmed Heartbeat of the World feature film series, which will include Encounters, a look at sexual identity (currently in pre-production), Into the Bloodstream, an exploration into drugs; and Polis, an examination of politics (with the latter two in development).
WORDS WITH GOD will be released both in its feature length capacity, and as stand-alone films from each director. The film will be launched later this year at film festivals, followed by a worldwide cinema release.
The movie is currently in post-production.
