About the Film

Director: Dane Dodds
Producer: Clara Sølvsteen, Dane Dodds
Executive Producer: Eno Stabell

Bringing together ancient spiritual knowledge and cutting-edge science, !AITSA is a transcendental film about humans in the Great Karoo desert of South Africa seeking meaning in the infinite darkness surrounding us all. !AITSA explores ancient spiritual knowledge and modern science in the Great Karoo desert of South Africa. From the Square Kilometre Array to Blombos Cave, voices ranging from scientists to local clergy and spiritual leaders are heard in this expansive film about existential questions and the many paths towards answers that will always remain slightly out of reach. In 2023, !AITSA had its world premiere at CPH:DOX with sold-out screenings and standing ovations. The film won the Grand Prize at Pärnu International Film Festival, Best International Documentary at Planet in Focus International Film Festival, Best International Feature at Big Sky Film Festival (USA premiere), and most recently won two SAFTAs including Best Documentary Feature and Best Achievement in Sound. Collectively, the film has received 11 awards, 16 nominations, and 32 official selections.

The film has been celebrated nationally and internationally, and has been featured on both radio and television, particularly during our recent impact tour.
