Life: there doesn’t seem to be a cure. We go to work, earn money, buy things we probably don’t need, and do it all again the next day. How about we find some Magic in the Mundane?
This looks like an interesting indie documentary. It’s about stopping and smelling the flowers, and then getting punched in the back of the head by God. Seems a bit harsh; we were only smelling the flowers.
Magic in the Mundane is a new documentary from Leigh Brooks. More from the press release. Brooks takes audiences on a 90-minute cinematic journey into the overlooked miracles of everyday existence … gathering philosophers, psychedelic guides, death doulas, trauma workers, ritual keepers and pilgrims to ask:
“Who are we when no one is watching?”
The documentary ventures into the nature of consciousness itself, asking whether artificial minds might one day perceive the sacred and how psychedelics can dissolve the veil between the self and what lies beyond it. It sits with death not as an ending but as a threshold, examines how trauma fractures and forges spiritual sight, and follows ancient and modern pilgrims alike as they walk toward meaning.
What if the extraordinary has been hiding in plain sight all along? Magic in the Mundane is a cinematic journey into the overlooked miracles of everyday existence. Filmed across breathtaking landscapes and intimate spaces, this feature-length documentary gathers philosophers, writers, psychedelic guides, death doulas, trauma workers, ritual keepers, pilgrims, pantheists, pagans and thinkers to explore where wonder lives when we’re not looking for it.
Magic in the Mundane will be streaming on 11th Nov. I’ve asked for a screener.
