Psychomagic, A Healing Art  is an intimate exploration of the visionary director’s theory of trauma therapy. Jodorowsky’s unique concept of healing uses performance art as a vehicle to counter deep, debilitating psychic suffering with literal “acts of confrontation” in real world applications. Drawing from a life-long study of philosophy, psychology, ethnology, and world religions, from Freud to Shamans, from Kabbalah to Gurdjieff and everything in between, Jodorowsky works directly with people in pain who are eager to face, resolve and transcend their personal dilemmas through the use of radical performative art therapy. The film illuminates the Maestro’s vision with themes evident since the start of his career, while contemporaneously breaking the wall between reality and performance. His healing concepts extend beyond the individual to the global, offering humanity a collective catharsis to a higher consciousness.

Psychomagic, A Healing Art includes a link to an exclusive digital 100-page book featuring original art, insightful essays, interviews and original testimonial letters. Through a unique code, fans will have access to two hours of additional digital bonus video content, including an interview with Alejandro Jodorosky and his wife Pascale Montandon-Jodorowsky, a mini-documentary about the film’s poster, journalist Philippe Rouyer’s commentary on key scenes and a Psychomagic act carried out by Alejandro’s son Adan Jodorosky at the end of the shoot, entitled Poesia Sin Fin.

Critical acclaim for Psychomagic, A Healing Art has been pouring in from outlets like Indiewire, which describes the film as “a dreamlike chronicle of human suffering for which Jodorowsky offers a wild solution on par with his craziest filmmaking conceits.” Slant Magazine stated, “What most shines through all the therapeutic interventions detailed in the Psychomagic is the scrupulousness of Jodorosky’s compassion and his deep-seated desire to render whatever assistance he can.” Cinemacy highly recommends the film to those who “believe in the transformative power of the mind and the unconscious,” while Spectrum Culture declared that the filmmaker “has found a way to directly reach into the dream world and resolve his patients’ nightmares. And that is cinema.”

Psychomagic, A Healing Art  is also available as part of ABKCO Films’ Alejandro Jodorowsky: 4K Restoration Collection. This deluxe box set includes Fando y Lis, El Topo and The Holy Mountain restored in 4K on Blu-ray, along with new bonus features and CD soundtracks of the latter two titles.  The film is available for purchase on Alamo On Demand, iTunes and Amazon Prime.
