Glasgow Film Festival Our Extra-Sensory Selves

Allison Gibbs’s new film is the result of an exploration on the possibilities of becoming extra-sensory. It refers to things and phenomena that operate beyond the realm of the regular human senses of vision, hearing, touch, taste and smell. Extra-sensory knowledge is produced and received not through the ordinary faculties but via the mind in an expanded state of consciousness and in communication with a highly receptive and sensual body. The film shows one group’s journey as they attempt to reclaim their extra-senses, asking what if we learn to exercise them beyond a personal context, in a larger social and political reality as well? Allison will be present for a Q&A after the screening.
