Alejandro Jodorowsky

But Alejandro Jodorowsky is not only a filmmaker. He is also novelist, musician, mystic, draughtsman, philosopher and much more. His collaboration with comic illustrator Moebius (among others, »The Incal«) was world famous. Jodorowsky studied psychology and philosophy, and for many years worked in the circus, with Marcel Marceau, for example. In the early 1960s, he founded the »Movimiento Pánico« together with Fernando Arrabal and Roland Topor, a kind of performance group with which he organized happenings along the lines of the Vienna Actionists. As an advocate of his own spiritual-therapeutic practice, Jodorowksy holds lectures throughout the world on the subject of »psycho-magic«. He holds weekly tarot sessions in a Paris café.
