Aluna The Elder Brother's Warning — DOP

Aluna
The Elder Brother’s Warning

August 2 2015

In 1990, a BBC1 documentary film brought global attention to a remote South American people, the Kogi of Colombia, who were determined to caution us about environmental damage to the earth. Now, two decades later and convinced that their message has gone unheeded, the next generation of Kogi are reaching out to the world once more with a much more specific warning about the future of the planet.

There’s an excellent review about the film. And below you find the film from 1990: From the Heart Of The World: The Elder Bothers’ Warning.

From the Heart Of The World: The Elder Bothers’ Warning, 1990

Justine Kurland
Escape into a better world

To me these pictures present a futuristic vision rather than a look back at our savage ancestors.

Paul Stamets
The Future is Fungi

Paul Stamets is a mycologist and a true renaissance visionary with a pathbreaking message.

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.

Freddy Mamani
Totems of Andean Futurism

His buildings are nothing less than an exuberant act of self-expression by Bolivia’s long-marginalized indigenous majority.

Maoist
Peasant Paintings

Huxian Peasant Paintings are a product of the Chinese Cultural Revolution. Ostensibly painted by amateur worker-peasant-soldier artists, they depict idealized scenes of the thriving socialist countryside.

Rick Doblin
Myths About Psychedelic Drugs

Rick Doblin is the the founder of MAPS and one of the most prominent fighters for opening our culture to the healing power of psychedelics.

Levon Biss
The Hidden Beauty of Seeds & Fruits

Each picture reveals minute features and textures that are normally invisible to the naked eye.

Vipassana
Meditation

Isn’t it wonderful that the revelation of the psychedelic experience only confirms buddhist teachings.

Hilma af Klint
Painting Beyond Matter

I was told it’s a pity that DOP is such a men’s club. And it’s true, the feminine is underrepresented.…

Gage Taylor
The Holy Grove

His meticulously rendered landscapes suggest a nostalgia for Eden and the availability of peace and joy through an expanded awareness of the beauty inherent in the land.

Stanislav Grof
The Cosmic Game

My appreciation for this lecture is beyond words. Grof’s thoughts basically touch all the areas that I want to explore right now.

Swiatoslaw Wojtkowiak
Storytelling from Borderlands of Worlds

Swiatoslaw Wojtkowiak is a daredevil with a good eye and the guts to go beyond what meets the eye.

Joth Shakerley is following the Rainbow Family for over twenty years. The pictures he brought back are beyond words.

Irving Penn
Worlds in a Small Room

Best known for his fashion photography, Irving Penn’s repertoire also includes portraits of creative greats, still lifes and ethnographic photographs…

Simon G. Powell
The Psilocybin Solution

Simon G. Powell had no real budget or crew, but he did have a Hi-8 video camera, some music equipment, a computer and lots of inspiration.

Problema
Who are we in the 21st Century?

A cinematic interpretation of this world’s largest round table gathering, Problema is a visually imaginative, thought-provoking invitation to a world of global dilemmas.

Shamanic Healing
Travels into the next dimension

If you think you are a spiritual energetic being then you will heal yourself by merely realizing what you truly are. Shamans are your helpers on this path.

Hans-Peter Dürr
Wirklichkeit

Hans-Peter Dürr — a luminous figure of science today. Such academic knowledge and reputation rarely come with wisdom and openness. I wish more scientists would be like him.

Klea McKenna
Automatic Earth

Automatic Earth refers to what I see as a ‘blue print’ that exists within nature; a plan within each organism to automatically generate a particular form or pattern that is then, inevitably flawed.

Lloyd Kahn
Shelter not Cabinporn

Lloyd Kahn is arguably the most influential pioneer of the DIY building movement that emerged in the 1960s.
