I couldn’t believe it, when I searched for FLCL on dpv and could not find a single post about it.

If you haven’t done so already, go and watch all of this show – now!

The Best Daughter – Ambar Navarro

28 Sep

A psych-video about “going to your own birthday party after death.” Up until 1:20 I found it to be an extraordinary video simulation of the psychedelic experience. After that, things get a bit too scary for me, though no less innovative. Ambar Navarro the director does a great job transforming mind-states on the screen,  which makes the film a rare spectacle.

DATURA: THE DEVIL’S WEED

21 Aug

Mad Mike is a self taught expert on hallucinogenic plants. As a recovering addict/alcoholic, he feels a responsibility to share his knowledge with parents and teenagers about the effects of Jimson Weed. Datura scare videos abound on the Internet, but rarely satisfy the curiosity of inquisitive kids. This short film is intended to inform people about Datura from first hand knowledge of the plant. Mad Mike is a real person who has studied hallucinogens sometimes to his own detriment. Mikes warnings should be heeded and the authors of this film in no way advocate the ingestion of this dangerous narcotic.

Orpheus´ Pony – Michael Fragstein

20 Jul

A beautiful melancholic and pensive animation by Michael Fragstein to music by Lisa Tuyala.

“So now you are looking at this strange creature,
sitting at a pond trying to bond with nature.
Its features are the most obscure.

Orpheus´ metamorphotic walk through the lost and found land.”

Psychedelics birds and fish

6 Jul

Some of you might remember the psychedelic bird fractals which we featured here a couple of years back. We liked those bird a lot back then but this “Bird Ballet” video really takes the whole bird-fractals thing up by a couple of levels. Beautiful.

And birds are not the only animals which  sometimes come together to create beautiful psychedelically transforming shapes. Fish do also, as you can see in the two videos below which remind us once again how psychedelic nature can be.
