Description

The latest project from 2012 MdFF alum Jodi Wille (The Source Family) unveils the fascinating true story of The Unarius Academy of Science, a long-running extraterrestrial-channeling, self-healing spiritual school in El Cajon, California. Ruth E. Norman, aka “Archangel Uriel,” the director of Unarius, was an outlandish spiritual leader and visionary filmmaker with a wealth of charisma and extravagant gowns. In the late 1970s students of Unarius became a wildly prolific filmmaking and art collective with an otherworldly mid-century aesthetic. Welcome Space Brothers chronicles Uriel’s predictions of alien Earth visitations, the unique relationships between her and spiritual/creative partners jockeying for her attention, and the spectacular cinematic creations of Unarius filmed long before CGI.
