As the title suggests, the main objective of this film is to `expose theology,´ or more specifically, to expose the ways in which theology has permanently deformed our society, and continues to infringe on our liberties and threaten our lives to this day.

           We find ourselves at a stage in history where competing theologies are so over-developed and wide-spread as to be trapped in a deadly, and apparently irreversible, `gridlock.´ Regardless of their shrewd denials, none of the warring factions have any intention of compromising their `missions´ of world domination and thus - to quote one of the characters in the film - "Every person alive today, regardless of philosophy and disposition, has billions of strangers obligated to kill him - either for what he is, or isn´t."

          No matter what history or personal experience teaches these people, and no matter how peaceful and loving they may want to become, the vast majority are always too afraid to challenge the obligations of their age-old and, thus, larger-than-life institutions. If religion ever possessed any advantages for mankind, these have long since been outweighed by its dangers and it is clear that our only chance for a peaceful future lie in a blanket abandonment of these disturbing institutions.

          While there are millions of people around the world who are fully aware of this phenomenon, we remain a relatively small and silent minority which is still considered taboo amongst the mainstream.

          Most people simply find it hard to imagine why, and how, religion could have developed this far if it is indeed merely a product of human fancy - rather than of divine inspiration. Religion has become so entrenched in our society that few people can imagine the world without it and they therefore tolerate its existence out of a sense of awe and mystery, even if they don´t actively participate themselves.

          Therefore, this film will offer a hypothesis for how religion could have evolved this far without having any supernatural origins, and thus remove the mystique that shrouds its true nature. Hopefully, this will help people see through the claims of clergymen and theologians and enable them to reconsider, and perhaps even revert to, their original lifestyles of freedom and indulgence.

THE FAIRYTALE

           Being that the subject of theology is too shrouded in ancient layers of blood, myth and taboo to be able to be analyzed and discussed objectively, we´ve chosen to use a carefully crafted metaphorical fairytale - inspired by Nietzsche´s Thus Spake Zarathustra, the writings of the Marquis de Sade, Hieronymus Bosch´s Garden of Earthly Delights, etc. Hopefully, by virtue of its freshness, our story will be able to elude peoples' biases and allow for genuine and sincere re-evaluation.

           The entire fairytale will follow the journey of one small group of people - serving as a microcosm of our species - as they undergo thousands of years of social evolution. We will watch them as they slowly develop communities, rules and crises that will closely resemble the history of our own civilizations. Perhaps this will help clarify why and how we got into our current predicament, namely, our afore-mentioned `theological grid-lock.´

          (This type of film will actually allow us to explore many human developments at once - psychological, sexual, philosophical, anthropological, economical, etc. - and indeed the script touches on all of these topics [and is therefore approximately 800 pages long, of which we only intend to film the high-lights and leave the rest as an epic-poem for those interested in a more detailed discussion]. But the main focus of the script is certainly the theological developements - and hence the film´s title.)

          The film will also try to discover some strategies for overcoming our 'theological grid-lock,' thus recapturing the necessary calm and quiet for the peaceful pursuit of pleasure. If it turns out to be inevitable that suicidal religions evolve to the point of destroying us all, then perhaps it is wise for us to realize this in advance and properly indulge and enjoy our final moments!

ANIMATED STORY BOARDS

          We´ve already created some `Animated Story Boards´ (perhaps some of the most luxurious Story Boards ever created) of various sequences that will appear throughout the film. While these sequences are relatively senseless without reading the entire script, several viewers have insisted that they form a nice little abstract film on their own. Perhaps they´re right. The animation was edited to a medley of (horribly recorded) snippets of Omer Avital´s music and we´ve never before seen so many small items animated with such care. We've therefore decided to make them accessible here and you are free to download and watch them.

          Please bear in mind, however, that in the final film these `Sequences´ will only appear in between scenes - and in short increments. More importantly, they won´t simply be rough sketches, but will be meticulously created by professional Animators and will be set to music that will be composed (and recorded) especially for this purpose!
