New Award-Winning Documentary Film Features ITP Professor Charles Tart
Something Unknown Is Doing We Don't Know What
Is it possible that some people can read your mind? Or look into the future? Why is it that some people can cure themselves while in the last stages of a deadly cancer? Does mind over matter really exist, and if so how do we explain this? People claim to 'see' distant objects or places. Do they really 'see' something? And where is the boundary between 'real' magical powers and fraud?
Can these miracles of the mind be explained? These questions and more are explored and answered in this fascinating and quirky feature documentary "Something Unknown Is Doing We Don't Know What" (105 ' min) by Dutch filmmaker Renée Scheltema. Along the way she also collects anecdotal stories from celebrities within the field, such as ITP's Dr. Tart, Psychic Detective Nancy Myer, Author Arielle Ford, Astronaut Dr Edgar Mitchell, and Intuitive Catherine Yunt.
They all weigh in on the "Big Five" Psychic Phenomena: Precognition, Telepathy, Remote Viewing, Psycho-Kinesis, and Spiritual Healing.
Renée found that experiments of today reveal how science is verifying numerous kinds of connections : 'mind to mind'; 'mind to body' , and 'mind to world', demonstrating that psychic abilities are part of our inherent nature.
Join leading experts in the fields of science, alternative medicine and parapsychology as they reveal profound insights into the world of the unsee and offer scientific evidence behind psychic phenomena.
Experience this mysterious and fascinating film from October 21st through October 29th at the Rafael Film Center!
