Disinfo.Con contains an amazing 4 hours of footage from The Disinformation Company's massive counterculture event in New York City's Hammerstein Ballroom. New York hadn't seen anything like this since the Nova Convention in 1978 which saw Frank Zappa, Patti Smith and others anoint William Burroughs as king of the counterculture. A quarter century later Disinformation's keynote speakers Richard Metzger and Douglas Rushkoff ushered in a dizzying, day-long array of performances ranging from sword-swallowing to sanskrit chanting, interspersed with lectures and conversations with counterculture luminaries like Mondo 2000 founder R.U. Sirius, industrial music progenitor Genesis P-Orridge, Grant Morrison, Robert Anton Wilson, theorists, performance artists and others from the extremes of popular culture. Nothing beats actually experiencing an event like this in the flesh, but this DVD comes pretty close to capturing the spirit of the counterculture as we lurch into the 21st century.
Writer
'Law and Order’ on acid and in Hell–only Robert Anton Wilson could conjure a courtroom punk rock drama blending Marilyn Monroe, the Marquis de Sade, Gurdjieff, the American Medical Association (aka the world’s greatest rock band) and the HORROR of the condition on planet Earth. Wilhelm Reich, infamous Austrian-American psychoanalyst and researcher, whose books were burned by Hitler, Stalin and the U.S. government, finds himself again accused of Thoughtcrime. Offered a final attempt to free mankind from its “emotional plague,” Reich leads his own defense amid a surreal and frightening spectacle of sex, violence, fascism and liberation.

Er selbst
Сюжет фильма основан на реальной истории о группе юных хакеров из Германии. В конце 1980-х Карл Кох, оставшись сиротой, тратит свое наследство на квартиру и домашний компьютер. Сначала он подключается к чату, где обсуждают теорию заговоров, основанную на его любимом романе Р. А. Уилсона «Иллюминаты», но вскоре он и его друг Дэвид начинают взламывать правительственные и военные компьютеры. Пепе, знакомый Карла из уголовного мира, чувствует, что на этом можно зарабатывать деньги, — он едет в Восточный Берлин и пытается связаться с КГБ.
Himself
“Manual of Evasion LX94” is a thought-provoking Dadaist film about time by the Portuguese director Edgar Pêra. It was shot in Lisbon in 1994 and stars Terence McKenna, Robert Anton Wilson and Rudy Rucker. Time is explored from many unusual angles, while Pêra fills the screen with a wide variety of bizarre and mind-warping imagery.
A brain-crushing collage of music and video presented in the form of a religious recruitment video. The topics covered (in deadpan narration) are basic psychology, the origin of the human race, spiritualism, religious dogma, UFO's, the end of the world, and the group's figurehead, J.R. "Bob" Dobbs.
