MAN OF THE CAVE
On Yemen’s remote Socotra Island, director Ivan Olita’s short film Man of the Cave follows Abdullah—one of the world’s last true cave dwellers—as he navigates the tension between living in harmony with nature and the growing demands of online fame. Inside his rugged cavern, Abdullah’s daily rituals remain rooted in ancestral rhythms, even as his digital presence unexpectedly flourishes.
