Throughout the history of cinema, there have been films made that have such enery, importance, and independent powers, that they can act as a visual "push" for the viewer to enter some new form of enlightenment, and indeeed, "Let There Be Light" moving and contrasting itself with itself in an infinite number of ways - visual, visceral, and imaginative; probing the visual realities in which we live, developing a new form of dreaming within the human mind that creates change and development in the original mental dreams of sleep and pre-sleep.
Cinema in all its forms IS a tool for human evolution of consciousness, using both simple forms and stories as well as forms and stories very complex.
And also, IT IS FUN !

LE VAMPIRES (1915; France)
Directed by Louis Feuillade. WithMusidora, Édouard Mathé, and Marcel Lévesque.
Irma Vep who was a character played by the great Musidora in the first female vampire movie ever made...Its on DVD totally restored and about 4-5 hours long....I have it and its simply beautiful, the plot wanders everwhere....but the visuals are in the top one percent of everything...The only word to use to describe Les Vampires is to say Gorgeous....it is a symphony for the eyesight...Sometimes I just watch a couple of chapters (it was a serial) and just feel re-atomized. It is not so much a story as a series of visual cues leading to the inner recognitions of a different form of profound eyesight itself.....and since its silent...the sound track is quite good as well....
