Director: James Broughton
Year: 1972
Time: 45 mins
Music: Morton Subotnick
Eye of Sound: Considered by many to be both Broughton's finest work and a masterpiece in American avantgarde film, Dreamwood narrates the oniric quest of a modern argonaut in a mysterious island located somewhere on the borders of the unconscious. Apparently Freudean at times (for isn't Freud the father of modern surrealism?), Dreamwood is an enticing journey through sexual, fecal and esoteric imagery. Subotnick's haunting music, sometimes synchronized with the action, adds to the poetic setting and lends the film a further dimension in rhythm and otherworldliness.

However, I think the esoteric cosmology is distinguished from religion in its more sophisticated construction and reliance on intellectual understanding rather than faith, and from philosophy in its emphasis on techniques of psycho-spiritual transformation. 23jj
