The Prague premiere of the film Descending the Mountain, which will be followed by a discussion with the creators – director Maartje Nevejan, producer Bohdana Tamas and production manager Annette Badenhorst.
Descending the Mountain / Maartje Nevejan / Switzerland, 2021 / 78 min. – In Descending the Mountain, psychiatrist Franz Vollenweider and Zen master Vanja Palmers create a ground-breaking scientific experiment located on the majestic Mount Rigi in Switzerland. The film shows if and how, when united, psilocybin and meditation might expand our understanding of the nature of consciousness. Leaving the iconic visuals of the 60’s behind, Descending the Mountain uses animation, sound, and A.I. to create a new visual language for the transcendent experience of oneness with nature.
The movie and after discussion will be screened in English (with translation to Czech).
