what?
The Psychedelic Pioneers is one of many feature films and documentaries being shown at Pacific Cinmathque during its Summer of Love series, which starts Friday and runs until Aug. 16.
The Psychedelic Pioneers is being shown Wednesday, Aug. 8 at 7:30 p.m. It will be preceded by two shorts: Sal Mineo narrating LSD: Insight or Insanity?, a scare film about the dangers of LSD, and LSD: The Trip to Where?, which includes Leary talking about the difference between a good and bad trip on acid.
Curated by Videomatica's Graham Peat and Jim Sinclair, with help from Kier-la Janisse, the Summer of Love series includes many rarely seen films such as The Trip, described as one of Hollywood's most accurate portrayals of what it's like to take LSD, Psych-Out, set in Haight-Ashbury and starring Susan Strasberg, Dean Stockwell, Jack Nicholson and Bruce Dern, and Something's Happening a.k.a. Hippie Revolt, a cinma vrit look at youth culture in San Francisco and Los Angeles in 1966-67.
PSYCHEDELIC PIONEERS (THE)
 | The story of The Psychedelic Pioneers is part leading-edge medical research and part utopian idealism. More than 40 years ago, in a remote corner of the Canadian Prairies, three gifted psychiatrists conducted a cutting-edge research project with an extraordinarily powerful drug - LSD. |
