Zurich Jungian Analyst Cedrus Monte recently reviewed my film, "The Invisible Forest" and suggested that I alert Jungian therapists, study groups and organizations to upcoming public screenings. Here is an excerpt from her review and a link to the entire review:

"Forests embody threshold spaces where we encounter the spirits of nature as well as ghosts of the psychic, para-spiritual world. It is here in the forest that Alli's dreamstory begins and winds itself through a rich tapestry of labyrinthine dreams within dreams, dreams that eventually carry us through to the shattering and regenerative conclusion of Alli's cinematic opus." - Cedrus Monte, Jungian Analyst.

THE INVISIBLE FOREST tours the USA west coast throughout June (Sacramento, Eugene, Portland, Seattle, Bellingham). If you live in or near these cities, you may be able to attend this rare film screening. I have posted the schedule and venue information on my tribe profile page for those interested. I will also attend each screening in person for a post-screening Q&A.

  • NEXT PUBLIC SCREENING 4/29

    Sat, April 25, 2009 - 1:27 AM
    The next public screening of "The Invisible Forest" is WEDNESDAY APRIL 29, 7:30pm, at THE HUMANIST HALL, 390 27th Street (nr Broadway) in Oakland. $5. admission. Filmmaker in person.

    SYNOPSIS
    A theatre troupe camps out in a forest to perform their director's vision of Antonin Artaud's magic theatre of ghosts, gods and spirits. During their forest experiment Alex (Antero Alli), the director, is haunted by disturbing dreams where Artaud appears and mocks his ambitions. When these strange nightmares persist, Alex stops sleeping in an attempt to regain control over his mind. Sleep-deprived and with his sanity pushed to its limits, he seeks help from a Psychotherapist who suggests hypnosis as a means to uncover the source of his problems. What follows is a phantasmagorical journey through the internal landscape of Alex's subconscious memories and dreams, a sojourn that leads us to a place beyond belief, beyond words, and beyond the mind itself.
