… Salmon Fishing in the Yemen, directed by Lasse Hallström and starring Ewan McGregor, Emily Blunt and Kristin Scott Thomas. Based on the novel of the same title written by Paul Torday.

An Arab sheik has a dream to build a place in Yemen where people can go fishing for salmon. He hires a professional in the UK to find a specialist to help make his dream true.  Creating a place for the fish and transporting the salmon to the Yemen is not that easy, and their journey will change everybody who gets in touch with this almost preposterous idea.

… The Substance: Albert Hofmann’s LSD, directed and written by Martin Witz and starring Stanislav Grof, Martin A. Lee and James S. Ketchum. Not really based on Albert Hofmann’s biographical and scientific work LSD: My Problem Child, it certainly has a relation to the story being told in the film.

The film tells us the story of a drug: the first experiments done by Albert Hofmann on himself, the experiments done in the 1950s by psychiatrists, consciousness researchers and artists. And the question that always kept them all wondering: was it possible to find a chemical path to the human existence?
