Runtime

Drama

Synopsis

The Panic Movement staged theatrical events intended to be shocking, as a reaction to surrealism becoming petit bourgeois and to channel destructive energies in pursuit of peace and beauty. One four-hour performance titled *Melodrama Sacramentral* was presented in May 1965 at the Paris Festival of Free Expression. The "happening" featured Alejandro Jodorowsky dressed in motorcyclist leather, performing acts such as slitting the throats of two geese, taping two snakes to his chest, and being stripped and whipped. Other scenes included a staged murder of a rabbi, a crucified chicken, a giant vagina giving birth to Jodorowsky, naked women covered in honey, and the throwing of live turtles into the audience.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 8

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
