Hello Friends,
Seven months ago I said I would be hosting a monthly movie night at the Spectacle theater dedicated to psychoactive drugs but did not keep my word due to several failed attempts to find a series of movies sharing a hyper-specific theme like “movies about phenmetrazine” or “movies about women involved with clandestine LSD laboratories.” So tonight I will turn the specificity dial down a notch and present four short films featuring mushrooms, both edible and psychoactive. To make things even more tempting I will be joined by filmmaker and mushroom enthusiast Caveh Zahedi (you may remember him from this movie, which incidentally was recommended to Krystle Cole by Gordon Todd Skinner while he was in prison). Both Caveh Zahedi and I will be available to answer any questions about filmmaking, the kingdom of fungi, and their intersections. The lineup of films will be as follows (but not necessarily in this order):
Videos by VICE
– I Was Possessed By God (in which Caveh Zahedi drinks an extremely large quantity of mushroom tea and has a peak experience)
– Tripping With Caveh (in which Caveh Zahedi eats mushroom chocolates with Will Oldham)
– The Fungal Jungle (a mycological primer by Larry Evans)
– Fruit of the Gods (a never before screened film about picking Psilocybes by Steven L. Peele)
– and a secret fungal surprise…
See you there!
