My film explores the story of Wilhelm Reich (1897-1957), the forgotten Austrian psychoanalyst, social philosopher, grandfather of the sexual revolution, political visionary and pioneering scientist who discovered something he called "Orgone" energy. Wilhelm Reich and Alice is a critical homage to one of the seminal thinker of the twentieth century. Controversial, contradictory and questionable, his intellectual venture is an extraordinary example of independent thinking, non-conformist fearlessness, synthesis of ideas, and holistic vision of knowledge.

My movie is a celebration of curiosity and uncompromised inquiry but also an homage of sorts to a figure that, despite being dead for fifty years, and whom I have never met, has had a larger impact on my life than any other living person.
