WHAT ON EARTH?
– AWARD-WINNING FEATURE DOCUMENTARY ABOUT THE CROP CIRCLE PHENOMENON
LOS ANGELES, CA -- What on Earth? -- "Inside the Crop Circle Mystery," an award-winning feature-length documentary film, has just been released on DVD.
A long time producer of events and projects having to do with our consciousness and our worldview, filmmaker Suzanne Taylor tracks her interactions, in England, over six summers, with an international community of visionary artists, scientists, philosophers, mathematicians, educators, writers, and farmers who marvel at crop circles.
The superstars of the film are the circles, which remain an unexplained global phenomenon that has puzzled humanity for centuries -- the photography is awe-inspiring. A question that's addressed by the interviewees is why something so startling and spectacular is largely ignored.
Circle enthusiasts, who converge in England every summer to go circle-chasing and indulge in circle analysis, talk about why they are so taken by this phenomenon. Evidence is presented that challenges the idea that all the glyphs are made by people, and the motives of hoaxers, who make some of the formations, is a subject for speculation. Interviewees also give viewpoints about who or what is delivering the formations that can’t be accounted for as coming from people, and why they are being created.
“The most startling
revelations we get from the circles come from their shapes,” says a
character in the movie. “Mathematical information encoded in them
delivers a virtual curriculum in number and geometry.” Also, the
circles are looked at as art, as instigators to reexamine ancient
knowledge lost to a culture that has become separated from nature,
and as coming from a source that is aware of us and delivering
patterns that point to events on Earth as well as in response to
whims and wishes of individuals and groups.
The DVD of What on Earth? also contains outstanding bonus material. It includes commentary by researchers about their favorite circles; an alternative opening that delivers more information about the filmmaker; a moving eulogy about Pulitzer Prize winner, John Mack, a Harvard psychiatry professor who was enamored with the circles and is in the film; a music video of a crop circle song that’s in the soundtrack of the movie; and a gorgeous montage of circles.
After a preview screening in February, at the UFO Conference in Laughlin, Nevada, What on Earth? garnered the award in the conference’s film track for best feature documentary. In April, the movie was the only film shown at the X-Conference, in the Washington, DC area. The X-Conference is an annual gathering to address the politics and implications of the UFO/ET issue: exopolitics. Taylor will take the film to England, in July, for a screening at the Glastonbury Symposium, a major crop circle conference that’s held yearly.
It is the filmmaker’s hope that those in power turn their attention to the phenomenon to examine the available evidence. With our fingers in the dike to solve the pressing problems that challenge us on planet Earth, her hope is that the announcement of the reality of an ET engagement with us will shift the worldview that holds all our problems in place.
