Alejandro Jodorowski’s The Holy Mountain
Welcome to the premiere screening of Cellar Door Cinema presenting you:
Alejandro Jodorowsky's 1973 masterwork is a film that resists description. Visually overwhelming, philosophically confrontational.
Inspired by mystical and surrealist traditions, produced in Mexico with unlikely backing, and suppressed for decades, this is not cinema for passive consumption. It was made to do something to you.
Audio: EN with GER subs
Trailer:
The Evening
Doors open at 19:00
We begin with a live introduction to the film and the project at 19:30 context, provocation, and a few things to carry into the dark with you.
The screening follows at 20:00, with English audio and German subtitles.
After the final frame, the bar opens and the night begins. Music drawn from the film's own soundtrack and the wider cosmos of Don Cherry, spiritual jazz, and psych will hold the atmosphere. You are strongly encouraged to stay, get a drink and dive deep with others about what just happened to you.
