With his infamous cult films Holy Mountain, El Topo and Fando y Lis (which caused a riot upon its premier) Chilean-born Alejandro Jodorowsky altered the visual language and philosophy of cinema. Breaking from conventional approaches to filmmaking, Jodorowsky worked with hermetic alchemy, symbolism and complex rituals to create a profound and transformative experience designed to heal one’s psychic wounds.

Beginning on the autumn equinox, September 23, the Museum of Arts and Design is proud to present Blood into Gold: The Cinematic Alchemy of Alejandro Jodorowsky, showcasing the complete body of film work as a core component to a series exploring the broad influence of this groundbreaking auteur.

As part of this retrospective, Alejandro Jodorowsky will be present for two post- screening discussions, and he will hold a Saturday afternoon master class called “Art as a Way of Transformation.” This seminar-style program will provide insight into Jodorowsky’s thinking on the power of film and art, with attention given to
art-making as a means for enlightenment.

Screening of El Topo with Alejandro Jodorowsky in post-screening conversation

September 24th, 7:00pm:
