I’m sure many Dangerous Minds readers in the New York area will be excited to hear about this unique opportunity to take a “master class” with the great cinematic magician, Alejandro Jodorowsky:

With his infamous cult films Holy Mountain, El Topo and Fando y Lis (which caused a riot upon its premier) Chilean-born Alejandro Jodorowsky altered the visual language and philosophy of cinema.

Breaking from conventional approaches to filmmaking, Jodorowsky worked with hermetic alchemy, symbolism and complex rituals to create a profound and transformative experience designed to heal one’s mental wounds.

Beginning on the autumn equinox, the Museum of Arts and Design is proud to present Blood into Gold: The Cinematic Alchemy of Alejandro Jodorowsky, showcasing the complete body of film work as a core component to a series exploring the broad influence of this groundbreaking auteur.

Master Class with Director Alejandro Jodorowsky, Saturday, September 25 at 3:00 pm, tickets | more info.

El Topo, The Holy Mountain, Fando Y Lis, Santa Sangre, La Cravate, La Constellation Jodorowsky and Rainbow Thief will be screened the last week of September and first week of October.
