Summary: Entheogenesis: In an attempt to answer the question of how a renewal of ancient initiatory rights of passage might alleviate our ecological crisis, this film examines the re-emergence of archaic techniques of ecstasy in the modern world by weaving a synthesis of ecological and evolutionary awareness, electronic dance culture, and the current pharmacological re-evaluation of entheogenic compounds.

Spirits for sale: Annika’s quest to find the right owner for a sacred eagle feather takes her deep into American Indian communities, where she learns about the anger, sadness, and hopes of traditional Natives. The film explores both sides of an unlikely battleground between Europeans staging traditional Indian ceremonies which they charge people to attend, and Indian people struggling to hold on to their cultures at all costs.
Additional features included trailers for two new films by Rod Mann: Eschaton and Digital dream architecture.
