THE MAN WHOSE MIND EXPLODED
2014-06-10Drako Zarharzar remembers working with Salvador Dali, but he doesn’t remember yesterday. Funny, charming, exotic, and oblivious to others, at 76 he lives “completely in the now” following brain damage that robbed him of his ability to create memories. To compensate he has created a beautiful, shocking 3D autobiographical collage that fills every space in his tiny flat – so if you enter his home you enter his mind. I wanted to understand him, I end up caring for him as his unique philosophy TRUST ABSOLUTE CONDITIONAL conflicts with reality.
The film is a collaboration between us, a record of a relationship that brought me great joy and wonder but also real pain.vel by John Green.
Premiere screenings at Picturehouse Cinemas in London, Cambridge and Brighton on June 13th and then on July 1st in the rest of the country.
