About This Event

Super excited to bring ' Magic in the Mundane' to the Electric Palace Cinema in Hastings! There will be a full QnA after the screening from director Leigh Brooks & guests. We will also be sharing an exclusive sneak peak at the sequel ' Sacred in the Profane' which is currently being shot around the UK, Europe and Egypt. "Magic in the Mundane" is a cinematic journey into the overlooked miracles of everyday existence. Filmed across breathtaking landscapes and intimate spaces, this feature length documentary gathers philosophers, writers, psychedelic guides, death doulas, trauma workers, ritual keepers, pilgrims, pantheists, pagans, monotheists and thinkers to explore where wonder lives when we're not looking for it. The film ventures into the nature of consciousness itself, asking whether artificial minds might one day perceive the sacred and how psychedelics can dissolve the veil between the self and what lies beyond it. It sits with death not as an ending but as a threshold, examines how trauma fractures and forges spiritual sight, and follows ancient and modern pilgrims alike as they walk toward meaning. Through ceremony and ritual, it seeks what broken spiritual memory has forgotten, while pantheism and paganism offer frameworks where divinity breathes through every stone and stream. Through stunning on-location cinematography and an evocative original score, these voices converge without consensus. Nothing is definitive. Each topic remains an open door, an invitation to wonder. The documentary refuses easy answers, trusting the audience to step through ... or not. Who are we when no one is watching? The magic was never elsewhere. It was always here, waiting for us to notice. Magic in the Mundane contains discussions surrounding trauma, addiction, mental health, psychedelics, grief, spirituality, and emotional healing. Some viewers may find certain testimonies and ceremonial sequences emotionally intense. The film presents a range of personal beliefs and lived experiences without advocating any particular worldview or practice.
