Journeys to the Edge of Consciousness
Journeys to the Edge of Consciousness is a part-animated feature length documentary film written, produced, edited and directed by Rob Harper. The film presents three psychedelic trips by three world-famous authors that together changed them, and Western culture, forever. Let go and be taken on an animated trip into the depths of the human mind with three brave pioneers of the 1950's/60's Aldous Huxley, Timothy Leary and Alan Watts. Combining stylish, minimalist animation with a rich, immersive soundscape, Journeys creates a unique cinematic spectacle, inviting you to relive the highs - and the lows - of the psychedelic experience from the edge of your seat. Sixty years later we put these historic trips into a modern context, framing them via an ongoing conversation with twelve major current thinkers from the psychedelic world, including Graham Hancock, Gabor Maté, and Dennis McKenna. Together we explore the question: "What can expanded states of mind teach us about ourselves, the world and our place in it?"
