Asaf Avidan // Different Pulses – Official Video – Directed by Vania Heymann

9 Jun

Israeli director Vania Heymann has become quite an internet phenomenon in Israel. In the past few months, Vania, a film student from Jerusalem has come out of nowhere and released a series of inspiring and highly viral videos into the Israeli web. His latest work, a video clip for Assaf Avidan’s track Different Pulses, has a nice hallucinatory feel to it.

Terry Gilliam’s Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas – The trippy hotel scene

9 Jun

It is hard to believe but the amazing hotel scene from Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, one of the classic psychedelic works of literature and film, has not been featured on the DPV as yet. Today is a good day to set things right. The trippy hotel scene, featuring Johnny Depp is a great example for the very distinct type of psychedelic humor where the joke lies in the gap between what the protagonist conceives through his hallucinations, and the actual ‘objective’ reality as it is seen by the camera/others. The hotel scene is  one of the best renditions of a psychedelic experience on film, and one of the most hilarious at that.

Dirty Pictures- Shulgin Documentary

7 Jun

Alex Shulgin is probably most known as the person who first synthesized MDMA, but Shulgin is the godfather of many other psychedelics. Yet this documentary in my opinion is not about Alex Shulgin the psychonaut, what it really is is a movie about the psychedelic love story of Alex and his wife Ann.
