✨ A psychedelic journey through the hidden forces of the universe.
Join us for the DC Premiere of PHENOMENA, an immersive audiovisual experience that transforms science, nature, and practical experimentation into breathtaking cinema. Captured entirely in-camera with no visual effects, the film reveals awe-inspiring imagery spanning from the subatomic to the cosmological — blurring the boundaries between art and science.
Featuring music by legendary composer Nils Frahm and an ethereal original score by Rival Consoles, PHENOMENA becomes a hypnotic experience on the natural world and our connection to it.
Directed by Melbourne-based filmmaker and visual artist Josef Gatti in collaboration with Academy Award–nominated Sandbox Films, PHENOMENA was hailed by DOC NYC as “a film that just has to be experienced.”

You simply have to see @phenomena.doc in a theater and I’m so so thrilled it’s in the lineup at @dcdoxfest . I had a conversation with director @josefgatti for the pod, and it is one of the most unique visual storytelling experiences you’ll ever see. Have I sold it enough? It’s THAT amazing. You can hear my conversations with Josef at firstgopod.com or wherever you download podcasts. And go see @phenomena.doc in a theater.
What a magical week screening at @afo_olomouc , a full circle moment made complete by winning the audience award and best science communication, international competition ✨
Sharing the magic of the universe with audiences is why this film exists and I’m so proud to have this recognised by both the audience and jury at AFO. A truly special festival and a week I’ll never forget!!
As always a huge thank you to our partners @sandboxfilms@screenaustralia@wearevicscreen
And a very special shoutout to Sonya Pemberton for making the introduction to both @ondrakazik and @ivana.for on a very serendipitous day!
