Jordan River’s The Monk Who Conquered the Apocalypse, produced and distributed by Delta Star Pictures, shot in ultra-high 12K resolution, is released on Prime Video , inspired by the visions of the apocalypse and eschatological themes of human beings described by Joachim of Flower. The Monk Who Conquered the Apocalypse is a film with three rhythms: the first part is meditative, the second turns upside down turning into a ’spiritual action’ leading to the third, with a visionary epilogue. Abbot Joachim of Fiore, who lived in the 12th century, had in fact prophesied the extension of the time of salvation linked to the Third Age of the Spirit, a period that also includes the present, therefore a very timely message. According to his vision, humanity, having overcome the stages of fear and faith in the trials of history, will be able to positively fulfill its destiny. Not a religious film, but a spiritual journey in art that will guide us on an inner journey. So more than a biography an itinerary among the archetypes of the spirit.
The message of this film is conveyed not only through evocative images and the spiritual exegesis of a 12th-century monk but also through innovative techniques, including the use of Chromotherapy in several sequences and Theta Waves, a specific type of brainwaves known for their action on the deepest and subtlest layers of consciousness, promoting the viewer’s inner well-being. Also interesting in the film are the scenes in which the monk conceives and brings to life the Liber Figurarum, the world’s finest figural spiritual work conceived and designed by Joachim of Fiore, in addition to the use of the names of characters and places in Latin. From these "Figurae" even Dante Alighieri, about a century later, drew great inspiration, in fact the Divine Comedy is strongly imbued with Joachimite thought.
The film was released in Italian theaters on December 5, 2024, garnering strong audience interest and continuing to be in demand for screenings until a full nine months after its theatrical release. Incidentally, Distribution has announced that the film will also be released in theaters in the U.S., starting Oct. 17 in Los Angeles, at NoHo 7 in North Hollywood, of the Laemmle Circuit; it will then be followed by a release in other U.S. cities shortly, including San Francisco, New York, and others. From 2026 the release then in other foreign countries, including the United Kingdom, Germany , and Japan.
The release of the film on Prime Video on October 12, the day of the discovery of America by Christopher Columbus, is not coincidental. In fact, the discovery of America was not a mistake, but the result of a prophecy.
During his voyage to the New World Columbus brought with him the prophetic writings of Joachim of Fiore. As documented in his writings, Columbus was strongly influenced by Joachim’s prophecies about the end of time and the coming of the New Age, which the monk described as the Age of the Spirit.
