On 1 September Siren Visual presented a very special one-off screening of Alejandro Jodorowsky’s The Holy Mountain at the Chauvel Cinema in Sydney. The screening was of the fully restored, uncut version off a newly struck 35mm print.
Following the screening the audience was treated to live interview with the director from his home in Paris. This was the only phone interview that Jodorowsky would do. It was a very special moment. Play the recording of that interview below.
Listen to the interview between the director and cult film specialist Jamie Leonarder to hear Jodorowsky discuss the long-running dispute between himself and producer Allen Klein, his thoughts on making films, his upcoming project with Marlyn Manson, and a special message to audience about making art.
Many thanks to Jamie Leonarder for conducting the interview, Sumugan Sivanesan for recording the audio, Marcus Cook for preparing it for download, and our co-presenters Filmink and TwoThousand. This was a night that will not be forgotten.
