In so doing he allows us a new insight into this unfamiliar aspect of the close encounter phenomenon. With great vulnerability and courage Juan invites Alan – and us – into his life. “Witness to Another World” is a powerful case study. In reality these experiences are often profoundly isolating and can take a long time to process and recover from. Often when we want to dismiss and laugh at reports of close encounters we casually suggest that perhaps people make these things up for the sake of 15 minutes of fame. The narrative begins with intrigue and questions surrounding Juan Perez, an Argentinian gaucho whose experience of a close encounter as a boy of 12 profoundly altered the course of his life. This beautiful, hauntingly human movie pulls us in to a place of deep feeling. And thank you Alan Stivelman for your courage in bringing the story to us.It was a pleasure for me this month to interview Alan Stivelman – writer and director of the ground-breaking new movie, “Witness of Another World.” You will not think or feel the same about ET contact after you have seen "Witness to Another World." And whatever your views on the topics of UFOs, ETs and close encounters, watch this movie and I guarantee you will come away saying, "Thank you Juan Perez for your courage in making the journey you did. I have never seen a movie - documentary or fiction - that has illustrated these interweaving threads as powerfully as Alan Stivelman's movie. In my own research I have come to believe that the world's indigenous narratives hold ancestral memories which speak powerfully to the question of ET contact, human consciousness and our relationship with the universe. In so doing he allows us a new insight into some unfamiliar aspects of the close encounter phenomenon. With great vulnerability and courage Juan Perez invites the filmmaker, Alan Stivelman - and us - into his life. This beautiful, hauntingly human movie pulls us in to a place of deep feeling.The texture, music, sights and sounds of "Witness of Another World" draw us into a state of attention and anticipation as the story unfolds of Juan Perez, an Argentinian gaucho, whose experience of a close encounter as a boy of 12 profoundly altered the course of his life. So yeah, some stuff about the case is not shown (like the small entity feeding with meat the other entity, or him racing off with the horse and a glove, and the final persecution against a flying door and a lightning ball / I KNOW, WHAT A WEIRD AND AMAZING CASE! /) But the movie is excellent. Then you see Juan eyes again, and he is now emotionally grown as a consequence of embracing his memories, a grounded man. They went into Juan Guarani origins and finally Juan find himself happy and deeply connected to a supporting belief (to say at least). The intention of the director (and sub-character) was nobly trying to help Juan to connect with "the why", wich is psychollogically a help itself. The case itself, if you include every detail, could be a 2hr movie itself, but that would be a dry documentary and this was more a storytelling of a journey, showing the emotional impact of that experience in a today grown guy. The case is one of the most important (if not the most) Argentinian cases, and it's well described and shown, even the special effect moment. While you see actually Juan's life, you connect with his eyes and the soulful truth about what he experienced. It actually starts with the director's journey and then comes the transition to the main character's journey. Ergo, they think automatically that this movie was made only for making money, there was some stuff about the case that never was shown, the Guarani connection was forced and they almost machiavellically manipulated Juan, the main character, to say stuff that (presumably) Juan would never say. There was some controversy inside the UFO Argentinian investigators, because there is a fraction (they worked with this case since the beggining) thinking that "you never ever should mix UFOs and beliefs and new age stuff".
