All Illusions Must Be Broken
Directed and produced by Laura Dunn and Jef Sewell

"For those who love documentaries filled with provocative ideas that demand engagement, ‘Illusions' packs a walloping punch in the face of complacency and acceptance of a global social order"–Steven Gaydos, Variety

All Illusions Must Be Broken is a cinematic contemporizing of the work of American cultural anthropologist Ernest Becker whose book The Denial of Death won the Pulitzer Prize for non-fiction in 1974. Becker's multidisciplinary exploration of human nature and his own personal testimony challenge us to move beyond our fears and see the beauty that surrounds our fragile lives.

This is the third documentary feature Dunn and Sewell have made in a series produced by Owsley Brown, along with executive producers Terrence Malick and Robert Redford. It premiered at the Palm Springs International Film Festival. 2024, U.S., DCP, 89 minutes. Recommended for 16+.

Followed by a post-screening discussion with director Laura Dunn.

Tickets to all screenings are $8 for Louisville Film Society and Speed members, $12 for general admission.
