The festival explored visionary films that feature non ordinary reality experience and psychedelic and altered states of consciousness. The founder of the festival, science fiction film maker and producer Daniel Abella says,The festival utilizes the visceral art forms of film and music. These are essential principles because they appeal to our visual, audio and kinesthetic senses and in doing so will allow individuals to achieve personal development and evoke emotional states of a higher well-being.
