Psychedelia Plus Q & A with Filmmaker | Lobby Reception
2022-11-12 19:00 - 22:00 | Acme Screening Room, 25 South Union, Lambertville, NJ, 08530, United States
Psychedelia Plus Q&A with Filmmaker and Lobby Reception
Saturday, November 12, 2022
7:00 PM
Followed by a Q&A with filmmaker Patrick Murphy. Pat is a documentary filmmaker and professional film editor, whose work includes programs for PBS, American Masters, and People magazine. He started making “Psychedelia” in 2011, upon learning about the NYU Psilocybin Cancer Anxiety Study. He produced, financed, and distributed the film completely independently. Patrick just moved to Lambertville from CA. We hope to give him a big welcome!
PSYCHEDELIA is a documentary film about psychedelic drugs and their ability to induce mystical and religious experiences. The film chronicles their use in controlled research studies prior to the cultural upheaval of the 1960s, when LSD was regarded as a promising medical breakthrough, as well as their recent re-emergence in psychiatry. Featuring leading experts in the field of psychedelic research, the film tells the story of medical professionals who have re-introduced these compounds into a legal and growing field of study. First-person accounts from a study on end-of-life anxiety explore the profound, life-altering insights psychedelics induce in participants and what these insights might mean for society at large.

Showcasing their art will be Bob Barish, Jeanne Chesterton, Florence Moonan, Susan Roseman, Ilene Rubin, and Dora Siemel. All art is for sale.
A few of the aspects that they like so much about the Point of View Art Show are that the art of Jeanne Chesterton and Ilene Rubin, along with Bob Barish, Florence Moonan, Dora Siemel and Susan Roseman complement each other while individually, are vastly different. All are well-known, award-winning artists who bring a unique voice and interpretation to the visual world around them. At the same time, each offers an impressive body of work, each professionally created and available for one weekend only.
There is something for everyone with little to no overlap of style or range. each has amassed their own following and niche in an otherwise crowded art field in the Bucks County region. It’s a unique blend with a wide price range, so that anyone who is a collector will certainly have a diverse choice, while a casual tourist will easily find a treasure at the famous New Hope Arts Center.
