Psychedelic Cinema refers to a genre of film that explores altered states of consciousness, often inspired by the use of psychedelic drugs like LSD or mushrooms. These films typically feature vibrant colors, surreal imagery, and unconventional narratives, aiming to evoke a sense of wonder and introspection. Notable examples include 2001: A Space Odyssey and The Holy Mountain. The genre emerged in the 1960s, coinciding with the counterculture movement and the rise of psychedelia in music and art. Directors like Stanley Kubrick and Alejandro Jodorowsky pushed the boundaries of traditional storytelling, creating experiences that challenge viewers' perceptions of reality.
