Film as Shamanic Initiation....
Shamans were the first storytellers in the world. Deep Cinema
by Mary Trainor-Brigham provides a link between the past and
current day filmmakers as an instructional guide to lead them to
richer and more meaningful stories.
Deep Cinema invites movie makers and movie lovers to
perceive storytelling from the perspective of Indigenous world-view.
Working from the layered Shamanic Cosmology of Upper, Middle and
Lower Worlds, it also introduces the tri-parte Soul: Divine, Human
and Nature, of which we are all comprised. With great insight it
uncovers initiation rites that continue to be expressed in movies
such as Whale Rider, Dead Man, and Thunderheart.
What people say:
"Deep Cinema
carries the film viewing experience from mere entertainment to
shamanic initiation — something many have felt yet never voiced."
— Catherine Ann Jones, Author: The Way of Story: The
Craft and Soul of Writing
"Wow! Who knew all this stuff
was going on in the movies? Deep Cinema digs
into the celluloid and tries to pull out something basic about human
behavior and how we experience it in cinematic storytelling. Makes it
tough to go back to the 12-plex and put the mind on automatic."
— John Sayles, Writer and Director
"This is one of those books I
wish I'd written. It concurs with my belief that movies and stories
can have a shamanic function, but it also spreads out a comprehensive
vision of the ancient and still vibrant indigenous world view. Movie
examples, including some overlooked gems, are well selected to
illustrate rites of passage and the processes of initiation."
— Christopher Vogler, Author: The Writer's Journey
