Following on the heels of last summer’s sold-out program, Erik Davis returns for another night of talks and films devoted to Southern California’s alternative spiritual culture. Angelino occultism has many sources, but one of the most important is the cinematic imagination, whose mystic and psychedelic developments Davis will trace through a collection of clips and short films drawn from experimental (“Meshes of the Afternoon”), B-movie (“The Trip”), and mainstream Hollywood fare (“Seconds,” “Head”).

The evening’s second half will be hosted by Process Books publisher Jodi Wille, who will present rare and previously unseen footage from LA’s spiritual fringe, including clips from the Universal World Church and the Source Family. Other guest presenters include Maja D’Aoust (Philosophical Research Society), Paul Nugent (The Aetherius Society), and Kenneth Anger collaborator Brian Butler, who will show some ultra-rare footage of the notorious Angelino witch Cameron.

Held in conjunction with ModCom's "City of the Seekers" tour on March 13.

Tickets are $14 and available for purchase at the door and at http://www.silentmovietheatre.com/.
