2012 Thu 12th Jan Help Alejandro Jodorowsky's new film become a reality!
We invite you to participate in an exciting new crowdfunding campaign to help legendary Chilean artist and director Alejandro Jodorowsky create his new film "The Dance of Reality."
Alejandro Jodorowsky is recognized worldwide as one of the most important artists of the last decades, who has excelled in various disciplines. His work as a writer (poet and playwright), philosopher, writer, actor, mime, puppeteer, film director, tarot instructor, painter and psychomagical therapy creator, catapults him to a different level than the usual, so much so that we dedicated an entire season to his ground breaking and momentous work. His imagination seemingly having no limit!
Jodorowsky explains it: "... The key is the active imagination of a broad vision: [it] can approach life from angles that are not ours, imagining other higher levels of consciousness ..."
Alejandro is great inspiration to many generations of artists; Directly influencing musicians such as Marilyn Manson, Peter Gabriel, Company Flow & Kasabian. Fans include directors David Lynch, William Friedkin and Samuel Fuller, actors Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper, and performers Bob Dylan, George Harrison, MGMT, Balkan Beat Box, John Lennon & Yoko Ono, amongst countless others.
If you haven't seen his cult midnight movie El Topo or The Holy Mountain, check them out. A psychedelic visual and magically roller-coaster into the surreal and strange consciousness of man.
He is now 84 years old and this will be a great opportunity for fans to see his a film about his story, by the man himself! The film project "The Dance of Reality" is based on the first part of his autobiography imaginary (book of the same name), though not in the sense of "fictitious" because all the characters, places and events are true, but in the fact that the deep history of life is an ongoing effort to expand the imagination and expand your limits, to seize it in its therapeutic potential transformer.
The production will develop his early experiences and life growing up in Tocopilla, a small town in northern Chile.
Please support this amazing film project and help him raise the funds he needs. Since he launched it 3 weeks ago he's only managed to get $7k, which is a very low amount for such a great and respected directer.
