\n Oberhausen Lichtburg Filmpalast<\/strong><\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>A kaleidoscopic document of the West Coast in the beat era, and a search for spiritual adventure. 1 Portrait of artist John Reed; 2 & 3 The quest for the sacred peyote cactus; 4 The family of Wallace Berman. <\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>The transition from land to sea, and from day to night and day again. The filmmaker embarks upon a personal journey of discovery, to find out what is actually in the world and not just in his own mind.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>An impulsive cine-poem of the mostly nude ladies at the Big Sur Baths, set against the incredible California coastline. By editing entirely in-camera, the filmmaker preserves the exhuberance of the moment. A celebration of light, the sun, the joy of living.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>The poet Michael McClure emerges from the reflected image, only to be absorbed into the hard surface of the city. A hypnotic photo essay that captures the rhythmic and melodic essence of San Francisco, 1957.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>Jordan\u2019s most recently completed film is a poetic postcard of San Miguel de Allende, set to music by Gabriel Faur\u00e9. The atmosphere of the past is evoked through the town\u2019s colonial architecture, punctuated by lines from Lorca.<\/p>\n
\n<\/strong>A young couple and their daughter spend their night in an old house and become magnetically involved with the past life of its occupants. Slow moving and dark, this ghost-film revolves around an elusive plot that has been elliptically cut by experimental editing from memory. With the drama subverted, the film develops into a representation of a mood, as the human world merges with the spirit world.<\/p>\n
