Peekskill Film Festival Presents Jodorowsky's Endless Poetry
As part of the AIM 18 initiative, the Peekskill Film Fest proudly screens Jodorowsky's newest masterwork in a limited seating.
In collaboration with Art Industry Media, The Peekskill Film Festival is honored to present master filmmaker Alejandro Jodorowsky's Endless Poetry (Poesia Sin Fin) in a limited seating screening at The Hudson Valley Center for Contemporary Art. Q and A with ABKCO's Mick Gochanour to follow.
Endless Poetry continues Jodorowsky's intensely personal journey of growing up in 1940s Chile. Against the wishes of his authoritarian father, the 20 year old Jodorowsky leaves home to pursue his dream of becoming a poet, and is introduced into the bohemian and artistic inner circle of Santiago where he meets Enrique Lihn, Stella Diaz Varín, Nicanor Parra, all unknown at the time, but who would later become driving forces of twentieth century Hispanic literature.
Living with these inspirational artists, Jodorowsky's exploration of his inner feelings takes him on a journey of sensual experimentation leading him to realize his innermost desires and passions.
Continuing the autobiographical story he began in The Dance of Reality, Endless Poetry is an ode to the quest for beauty and inner truth, as a universal force capable of changing
one' s life forever, written by a man who has dedicated his existence to creating spiritual and artistic awareness, told through Jodorowsky' s unique surreal and psychedelic visual language.
