Home Team Review of What The Bleep Study Guide We are very proud to have Puget Sound as the home of What the #$*! Do We Know?! Our Seattle IONS Community has sat with the film makers of What The Bleep in our community group from its very first showing. We supported and celebrated the film's success, and we have witnessed how this amazing movie spread like wild fire through the larger IONS and global community. Now we have The What The Bleep Study Guide jointly developed by The Institute of Noetic Sciences and What The Bleep film makers. Wow! Thank you IONS and What The Bleep film makers! What a gift! In previewing this 80 page document, our Seattle IONS community group planning team finds it is brilliantly put together, both exceptionally educational and amazingly experiential. On July 11, we will be sharing and reviewing this masterpiece with Our Seattle IONS community and The What The Bleep community, taking a careful look at the curriculum and designing our own home team targeted study from the vantage point of The What The Bleepers.
Notes on Below is the original press release from its orginail showing in 2004. “It’s Time To Get Wise” Filmmakers William Arntz, Betsy Chasse and Mark Vicente An Advance Screening of the New Award-Winning FilmCAPTURED LIGHT INDUSTRIES PRESENTS: A LORD OF THE WIND FILM What the #$*! Do We Know?! ** Starring Academy Award Winner Marlee Matlin ** Featuring 14 Top Scientists and Mystics, and Visionary Animation “This is an important film, a groundbreaking work in both form and content”-- Andy Gurevich, dtheatre.com ABOUT THE FILM• Winner: Grand Jury Prize Documentary, 2004 DC Independent Film Festival• Award Winner: 37th Annual WorldFest - Houston Int’l. Film Festival• Official Selection: Ashland (Oregon) Film Festival• A tour de force hybrid film featuring live-action drama, documentary, and state-of-the-art animation. • In the story, the protagonist, Amanda, played by Matlin, finds herself in a fantastic Alice in Wonderland experience. Her daily, uninspired life literally begins to unravel, revealing the uncertain world of… what physicists define as “the quantum field” hidden behind what we consider to be our normal, waking reality. She is literally plunged into a swirl of chaotic occurrences, while the characters she encounters on this odyssey reveal the deeper, hidden knowledge she doesn’t even realize she asked for. Like every hero, Amanda is thrown into crisis, questioning the fundamental premises of her life, ultimately discovering that the reality she has believed in isn’t reality at all! After this “awakening,” she is no longer the victim of circumstances, but on her way to being the creative force in her life. Her life will never be the same. The fourteen top scientists and mystics interviewed in documentary style serve as a modern day Greek Chorus. Their ideas are woven together as a tapestry of scientific truth, pointing to the interconnectedness of all things. Through the course of the film, the distinction between science and religion becomes increasingly blurred, since we realize that, in essence, both science and religion describe the same phenomena. Powerful animated sequences explore the inner-workings of the human brain, as well as the smallest form of consciousness in the body – the cell. These dazzling visuals reinforce the film’s message with humor, precision, and irreverence. WHY YOU SHOULD SEE THIS FILM: • Because you’ve never seen a film like this before! • Because more than 40,000 people have seen it in Portland – lined up around the block! -- during its first eight weeks. • Because -- like the movies, The Matrix, Vanilla Sky, and Minority Report -- this film shows a greater reality behind the one we all accept as true. But the difference between this film and those movies is … This isn't science fiction. It's stranger still…. It's real!

Because it’s opening in
Los Angeles in early June,
and we want you to have an advance experience! |
