I featured this documentary before but I feel it deserves to stand alone.
Watch it right after this post. These two films complement each other:
Inner Worlds — Outer Worlds.
Charles Burchfield
The Shimmer of Nature
Burchfield’s nature scenes strike me as among the most experiential art I know, as he’s able to put you right into his synesthetic experience of nature.
Agnes Pelton
Desert Visionary
Agnes Lawrence Pelton (1881–1961) was a member of the Transcendental Painting Group, dedicated to the principles of creating and promoting a pure abstract painting style imbued with spiritual intent.
De Es Schwertberger
Heavy Light
Over more than fifty years of creating, Schwertberger’s themes and painting style evolve continuously. The path led from a figurative fantastic realism to an almost abstract, process-like creative flow.
John C. Lilly
Of Mountains and Molehills
This little chapter from The Center of the Cyclone by John C. Lilly turned out to be a piece of wisdom that stood the test of time.
Guy Debord
The Society of the Spectacle
This film is based on the 1967 book of the same name. It’s a radical critique of mass marketing and its role in the alienation of modern society.
Erich Fromm
The Art Of Loving
The presentation of love as as a skill that can be taught and developed is all the more important for modern humans alienated from each other and from nature.
Yoga
Made in GDR
A practice of self-enquiry like yoga isn’t on the agenda of a system of control and conformity. But even in East Germany people pursued this path, despite the risk of arousing suspicion.
Terence McKenna
Final Earthbound Interview
This video from 1998 is one of the last interviews before Terence passed away in April 2000.
Breath of the Gods
The origins of modern Yoga
The documentary investigates the origins of modern yoga and presents especially Krishnamacharya’s life and teachings.
Icaros
One who set forth
to learn what being alive was
This film is about people who set forth to fully experience life. To shed the false shell and to return home.
Philip Kirkland
The Psychedelic Textbook Solution
Back in the early 1970s, Phil Kirkland created surreal textbook illustrations, mostly for psychology and health books.
