The Holy Mountain Trailer | Opens Aug 3, 2018 | AFS Cinema

Tickets: https://www.austinfilm.org/screening/holy-mountain/ Alchemy in a white room, limbless drifters, dwarfs, toads as Aztecs and Conquistadors waging a blood war – THE HOLY MOUNTAIN is the surreal ramblings of the mind flayed open. Eschewing plot for sacrilege and alchemy, it unfurls as a dizzying array of kaleidoscopic musings on imperial and colonial excess, oracles, tarot and spirituality. A messianic man takes a hallucinogenic trek to the outer edges of sanity and the cosmos in this alchemical fable. Alejandro Jodorowsky’s THE HOLY MOUNTAIN is psychedelia as profane cosmic cinema, outside the realm of logic. Astonishingly beautiful and utterly transfixing, THE HOLY MOUNTAIN is unforgettable. Opening night (Aug. 3), join us at 8 PM for a special psychedelic set by DJ THOUSAND FOOT WHALE CLAW (Holodeck Records) before the screening.
