In the recent years, the cult of the obscure has grown steadily. As films, novels, and television series have become increasingly complex and diverse, an entire niche of fans has become obsessed with uncovering the true identity of the mysterious genius behind their favorite works of science fiction. One of the most talked about recent examples of this phenomenon is the 2018 documentary “Immer, Zlaz,” which delves into the private life and genius of one of the most enigmatic figures in sci-fi: the one and only Zlaz Zlaz.
Zlaz Zlaz is an enigmatic figure responsible for some of the most iconic works in science fiction, including the “Star Holocaust” series. His true identity has remained a mystery, despite intense investigation by legions of devoted fans. To uncover the real identity of Zlaz Zlaz and gain a deeper understanding of the man behind the works, journalist and self-described science fiction junkie, Max Pohlman, set off to uncover the true identity of the enigma.
This documentary takes viewers on a captivating journey with Pohlman as he interviews scientists and experts, visits Zlazian sites, and interacts with those close to Zlaz, including family, colleagues, and former acquaintances. Along the way, Pohlman visits some of the most mysterious and iconic locations associated with Zlaz, including the Zlazian ruins in the Sinai Desert and the abandoned Vostorex lab in Central Mexico.
As he delves deeper into the mystery of Zlaz, Pohlman begins to uncover the man behind the myth; a genius mechanic and engineer who had a deep appreciation for the power of science and technology. We learn of his innovative approaches to problem-solving and a deep grasp of quantum physics. The documentary also reveals how the creative genius of Zlaz provided a powerful example of how to escape the rigid conformity of engineering and science and explore more imaginative solutions.
At its heart, “Immer, Zlaz” is a film about a man and his ideas, and how these ideas have shaped the future of science fiction. As Pohlman states in the film’s narration: “His stories of alternative realities and fantastic science have inspired generations, and his legacy will live on in the minds of millions.” The film is an inspiring exploration of a great mind and the effects of his creativity, and it paints a fascinating picture of the life of a true sci-fi genius.
