The Altered Consciousness Collection box set of three award-winning documentaries -- Hofmann's Potion, FLicKeR, Hippie Masala -- explores the frontiers of human consciousness and the iconic pioneers who opened the doors of perception. From early LSD research and hypnotic 'dream machines' to the transformational powers of Eastern spirituality, the Altered Consciousness Collection reveals the sub-culture of enlightenment seekers who influenced a generation. Winner of the 2008 Hot Docs Special Jury Prize for FLicKeR. Archives and interviews with counter-culture icons William Burroughs, Aldous Huxley, Timothy Leary, Ram Dass and others. A provocative, insightful, and timely collection. Includes the following three titles: FLicKeR -- In 1961, poet, artist, and beatnik Brion Gysin invented the Dream Machine, a hypnotic light device that induced hallucinations. The Dream Machine enthralled mystics and freethinkers everywhere, with William S. Burroughs claiming that it could 'storm the citadels of enlightenment.' FLicKeR is a riveting documentary that explores the life of Brion Gysin and his quest to transform human consciousness. Hoffmann's Potion -- Timothy Leary rallied a generation to 'tune in, turn on, drop out," but it was Swiss chemist Albert Hofmann's discovery of the LSD elixir, and his experiments on himself, that first revealed the power of this potion for medical research and mental exploration. Featuring interviews with many LSD pioneers, Hoffmann's Potion is an invitation to look at LSD -- and our world -- with a more open, enlightened mind. Hippie Masala -- In the 1960s and 1970s, thousands of hippies journeyed East in the search for enlightenment, free drugs or a 'pure' life. Some stayed for good. Hippie Masala shows aging flower children who, after fleeing Western civilization, found a new way of being in India. |
