BRAVÒ presents: “Man of the Cave” online premiere

In the short film Man of the Cave, premiering on NOWNESS, director Ivan Olita explores the fragile balance between living in tune with nature and negotiating the pull of online fame on Yemen’s remote Socotra Island. One of the world’s last true cave dwellers, Abdullah inhabits a tight cavern while his digital presence steadily grows, confronting the paradox of being both hidden and seen.

Set against the island’s legendary Dragon Blood Tree and its UNESCO-protected shores, the film becomes a meditation on identity — a portrait of a man suspended between ancestral rhythms and modern recognition, between solitude and visibility, between who he has always been and who the world now imagines him to be.
