Alien American

Alessandro Mercuri | USA | 2001 | 52' | | IFFR 2002

Alien American is neither a fake documentary nor a real fiction. It is the portrait of Basia, a Polish-American woman living in Los Angeles, claiming to be an Alien in her past life. From the discoveries of Hernan Cortes to the moon landing, this film investigates the universe of belief and simulation.
