'Born Without' is a documentary about severely handicapped Mexican actor and musician Jose Flores. "Born without arms and other limbs, Jose supports his large family by playing the harmonica throughout Mexico. In the face of adversity, he shows great courage and spiritual strength.

Many of Jose's choices have been strongly criticized by his family and people around him. As a result, this is also a film about self discovery: a way to explore what we judge ... and what we choose to accept and forgive."Year:

Alejandro Jodorowsky - Conversations on the Way of the Tarot
Conversations on the Way of the Tarot follows a 2005 tour of Italian theaters. Jodorowsky and Marianne Costa start from the public reading of the Tarot, to heal" with their psychomagical advice and dispense ingenious tales that, through laughter, lead us toward deep reflection. For this is the atmosphere one breathes in the company of Jodorowsky, in the theater as well as in his home in Paris, where he tells us about himself in a long and intense interview-conversation. He talks to us about autobiographical memories, his relationship with other art forms and the Tarot de Marseille, which he personally helped restore, and about the profound and unique idea of Planetary Man, an idea that knowledge of the Tarot can help us develop.

Melodrama Sacramental
The Panic Movement performed theatrical events designed to be shocking, as a response to surrealism becoming petite bourgeoisie and to release destructive energies in search of peace and beauty. One four-hour performance known as Melodrama Sacramentral was staged in May 1965 at the Paris Festival of Free Expression. The "happening" starred Jodorowsky dressed in motorcyclist leather and featured him slitting the throats of two geese, taping two snakes to his chest and having himself stripped and whipped. Other scenes included a staged murder of a rabbi, a crucified chicken, a giant vagina giving birth to Jodorowsky, naked women covered in honey and the throwing of live turtles into the audience.Year:
