Alan Watts Film Project

We are currently gathering resources for a documentary film about Alan Watts' philosophical explorations and lifelong fascination with the art of communication. The film is to be based upon his own autobiographical narratives, selections from audio and video recordings, interviews with friends and family, and our ever-expanding photo and film archive. If you have of or know of photos, films, drawings, or other materials of or by Alan Watts, please let us know as we may wish to make arrangements to reproduce them for the film. If you would like to create content for possible inclusion in the film, we invite you to use any of the audio postings in the multimedia section of this site as the basis for short films. We are looking for authentic responses to his works, and will consider any submission for inclusion in the film. All we ask is that you show us what you create, and if we like it we'll post it on the site. The most engaging posts will be evaluated for inclusion in the feature film!

We are also looking for materials on the legendary Vortex experiments held in San Francisco at the Morrison Planetarium in the late fifties, images of Alan Watts the Academy of Asian Studies in SF during the same period, and other related materials that reflect the artistic experimentation that flourished during the late fifties and sixties.
