Movie Synopsis:

Through Alejandro Jodorowsky's autobiographical lens, Endless Poetry narrates the years of the Chilean artist's youth during which he liberated himself from all of his former limitations, from his family, and was introduced into the foremost bohemian artistic circle of 1940s Chile where he met Enrique Lihn, Stella Díaz Varín, Nicanor Parra... at the time promising young but unknown artists who would later become the titans of twentieth-century Hispanic literature. He grew inspired by the beauty of existence alongside these beings, exploring life together, authentically and freely. A tribute to Chile's artistic heritage, Endless Poetry is also an ode to the quest for beauty and inner truth, as a universal force capable of changing one's life forever, written by a man who has dedicated his life and career to creating spiritual and artistic awareness across the globe.

Movie Synopsis:

Away from filmmaking, one of Jodorowsky's preoccupations over the past number of his decades has been his development of the therapeutic methods of psychomagic. According to this belief, psychological traumas are not just caused by the individual's own experiences, but can be handed down through generations and identified through the process of psychogenealogy. Jodorowsky has published a significant body of work on these concepts, and for decades held free consultations and study groups on the topic, integrating a lifetime of research into various academic disciplines into a form of therapy that he believes can free the consciousness of suffering. Before returning to the next volume of his cinematic memoirs, this new documentary offers fascinating insight into his motivations and beliefs.
