A Night of the Occult

Evolver NYC Presents:

A Night of the Occult

Come dressed in your Halloween costume for an adventure into hidden dimensions.

7.30pm: Daniel Pinchbeck will talk with Mitch Horowitz, leading editor and writer of spiritual, metaphysical and esoteric books. His latest book “Occult America: The Secret History of How Mysticism Shaped our Nation” has been lauded by Deepak Chopra and Ken Burns.

9.30pm: Three filmmakers will screen their occult visions and shake up your mind.

Jason K Tallon – filmmaker and poet, whose imagination was cultivated in the same back woods as Lovecraft's "Whisper in the Darkness." Artist Cosimo Cavallaro, sculptor of Chocolate Jesus says, “Tallon creates images that fossilize in your memory and unlocks emotions from one’s own prison…”

Eliott Edge – began experimental filmmaking aged 10 and was known for his bizarre and brilliant visions by his classmates and his NYU professors and colleagues. Upon leaving NYU after finding the narrative form too limiting, he showed “Hello Sexy Curse” at Alex Grey’s Entheovideo Festival, VJ-ed, played improv noise music and co-created the Art Zine, Upstairs Arcade. His father was a mortician and he currently lives next to a cemetery. His work can be seen at www.youtube.com/oddedges

Olivia Wyatt- her documentary video work is centered around African-based religious rituals practiced in the United States. She has spent the past four years documenting Vodou rituals in Brooklyn, NY and is drawn in particular to the elements of possession.
