MOVIES

Abbey of Thelema
Set between 1920 to 1923, the film is based on the communal life propogating Thelemic mysticism started by Aleister Crowley. The Abbey of Thelema was located in Cefalu,Sicily and the commune dispersed when Crowley was deported from Italy by the Fascist Dictator Mussolini. The actual building still stands today.
The Plot: The Film begins with Aleister Crowley meeting Leah 'the sublime' Hirsig in New York City; they then move to Cefalu, Sicily to found the commune. Director Vincent Jennings said, "What is unique about this movie is the focus in on each character exploring their inner-workings, their desires, feelings, emotions, deprivations and pain."
Vincent Jennings & J Grimm Co-Direct.
