Thanks again to everyone who came to the Sublime Frequencies film screening we hosted at Le Pick Up. Sublime Frequencies co-founder Hisham Mayet — who had never been to Montreal before — loved our cozy spot + especially dug the pulled pork sandwich. Who wouldn’t?
Some photos from the evening – enjoy!
Also. Did you see the article ‘Ecstatic Truths’ by Kier-La Jannise (of Blue Sunshine) that appeared in the Montreal Mirror a few weeks ago? From the story:
“Like the work of Les Blank or Werner Herzog, Hisham Mayet’s films offer a holistic fly-on-the-wall exploration of music, mysticism and ceremony. “I’m looking to convey a visceral experience without diluting it,” he says, citing Herzog’s concept of “ecstatic truth” as applicable to his own work. To achieve ecstatic truth is to transcend merely factual documentation, and Mayet takes on the roles of both observer and spontaneous participant, often negotiating through delicate relationships to be able to view things from the inside.”
