Logline

After discovering a cave painting that mirrors his haunting visions, a grieving man is pulled into a mythic realm where the only way to survive is to confront a luminous being that may not save him, but unmake him.
 

 
About The Film
 
Beyond its cultural and mythological depth, The Augoeides explores the urgent and growing issue of mental health in modern society. At its core, the film confronts anxiety, emotional isolation, and existential crisis realities that resonate deeply with today’s audiences. The protagonist becomes a mirror for the inner turmoil many face: feelings of disconnection, lingering guilt, and the silent struggle for meaning in a world that often overlooks the inner life. In this way, The Augoeides not only draws from ancient wisdom but also speaks directly to the psychological landscape of our time.
 

 

What Is The Augoeides?
 
The Augoeides is a mystical, narrative driven film rooted in ancient symbolism, Neoplatonic philosophy, and the mystery traditions. Set in real-world sacred landscapes, it follows the journey of a man drawn into a liminal space between past and present, seen and unseen led by visions of a radiant being from beyond. This is not just a story it’s a cinematic initiation, inviting the viewer to awaken to the deeper layers of their own being.

 

A Story That Speaks to Our Struggles

The project aims to create a dialogue around mental well-being, the pressures of modern life, and the role of inner healing, making it a culturally and socially impactful film that resonates with both local and global audiences.

 


 

 Why This Film Matters

In an era of noise and distraction, The Augoeides invites stillness, reflection, and re-enchantment. It speaks to those seeking depth, connection, and mystery. It honors the sacred in art, the unseen in story, and the light that lives in each of us. This film is independently made with heart, vision, and reverence and we need your help to bring it to completion.
