A place betwix the betweens, thought unlucky by some, imaginary by others. Beloved by pirates and paupers, freaks and geeks, barbarians and bards, for here is where art, language, magick, science, and reality waltz. Enter for amusement purposes only - this is but another moment of madness on the wheel of fate. Original Content is treasured here - if creativity flows in your soul, your work is welcome. Birthplace of #cinemainsomnia, #oddradio, and of course, the #13thFloor RSS feed **[Note: this community created by @[email protected], temporarily maintained by @[email protected] while Arotrios is on hiatus or between dimensions]**

"To those dark horses with the spirit to look up and see... a recondite family awaits." Welcome to the Jejune Institute, a mind-bending San Francisco phenomenon where 10,000 people became "inducted" without ever quite realizing what they'd signed up for. Was it a cult? Was it an elaborate game? Told from the participants’ perspectives, this film looks over the precipice at an emergent new art form where real world and fictional narratives collide, creating unforeseen and often unsettling consequences. Fusing elements of counter-culture, new religious movements and street art, this film invites viewers into a secret underground world teeming just beneath the surface of everyday life.

@caribouslim Good times. Wish I still had a copy of those transcripts. The Jejune society did a good job harmonizing the San Francisco redwood forest back into reality that year, enough for more than a few of us to enjoy the taco trucks in the Mission, and of course, bask in the nexus of magical energy emanating from the Maestra Peace Mural.
