THE EXPERIENCE

Dive into the strange and visionary world of Dr. John C. Lilly–scientist, mystic, and pioneer of consciousness exploration. Blending archival footage, narration by Chloë Sevigny, and a constellation of cultural icons including Alejandro Jodorowsky, Allen Ginsberg, Timothy Leary, and Scott McVay, the film charts Lilly’s radical quest to expand the boundaries of mind and communication.

“An illuminating work of cultural archaeology” —THE FILM STAGE

ON SCREEN: John Lilly and the Earth Coincidence Control Office

2025. Directed by Courtney Stephens & Michael Almereyda . Runtime: 1 hour 29 minutes. 

The daring experimenter Dr. John C. Lilly dedicated his life to radical self-investigation and unlocking the mysteries of consciousness and communication. “My body is my laboratory” was the motto, and his research on the language of dolphins and whales—as well as psychedelics and sensory deprivation—assured his own cult status in 20th-century pop culture as the basis for Ken Russel’s Altered States and Mike Nichols’s The Day of the Dolphin.

Directors Michael Almareyda and Courtney Stephens, along with narrator Chloë Sevigny, explore the life of a determined scientist and his experiments into the psychonautical unknown.
