Join us for this members-only special screening of a new documentary film about the Electric Circus, Psychedelicized: The Electric Circus Story.
In the height of the psychedelic era, in the middle of New York City’s hippie district, the East Village, hippies, circus clowns, Leonard Bernstein, Andy Warhol, the Hell’s Angels and Robert Kennedy had one thing in common: they all came down to the Electric Circus.
The Electric Circus nightclub was a drug-fueled, multicultural oasis of dance and creativity in 1960’s NYC, frequented by icons like Jimi Hendrix, Timothy Leary, and Sly & the Family Stone. Against a hallucinogenic backdrop of hippies, Hell’s Angels, and circus performers, club founders Stan Freeman and Jerry Brandt share memories of the club’s rise and spectacular demise. Dynamic editing, a groovy soundtrack, and psychedelic vibes make this an entertaining trip through a slice of NYC history.
We’ll be joined by the film’s creator, Larry Confino, for a Q&A after the film screening.
