Alejandro Jodorowsky // Chauvel Cinema

How could you not at feel a little cinephallic excitement with the news that that the Chauvel Cinema are presenting one-off 35mm screenings of Jodorowsky’s quasi-Western head-trip El Topo and John Lennon/Yoko Ono funded surreal and sacrilegious Holy Mountain, which recently screened a sell-out session at the Melbourne International Film Festival.

To celebrate its 100th issue our sister publication Two Thousand and Siren Entertainment are also proud to present an exhibition running in conjunctioin with the screenings. Held at the Chauvel Gallery and showcasing A0 prints from Jorodowsky’s new book of production notes titled ‘Photo gallery and Original Script Excerpts’ it will add another layer to this already remarkably textured film experience.

El Topo – 9pm, Saturday, 25 August
The Holy Mountain – 9pm, Saturday, 1 September
Tickets available from the Chauvel box office or through Moshtix.
