Some Moments with Gurdjieff

Ursus:
Hi everyone,

I thought what an appropriate opening thread it would be to post something I found today, a video link to colour footage of Gurdjieff and some of his pupils, in France, 1949:

Some Moments with Mr Gurdjieff and Others, France 1949

:)

Perceval:
Hi Craig, thanks for the link. What strikes me about the video is how ordinary Gurdjieff seems. There is so much mystique surrounding the man, and while his writings were truly awesome and described the human condition in such an insightful way, he was obviously still a human being. I suppose it holds out hope for the rest of us!

anart:
I say thanks as well.  You're right Joe, he does look so ordinary - however, he also often looked rather bored with what was going on around him, contrasting how excited and animated the other people looked.  They appeared to be thrilled to document what to them was a momentous occasion, and he appeared to be quietly putting up with it, waiting to get in the auto and go.  I do admit that he looked nothing like how I pictured him, which is very cool indeed.

Caelharr:
Hi Craig,
Add my thanks to the list, awsome piece of film. I wonder where and how she aquired it!

Lucy:
I also want to thank Craig for this piece of video.  
One of the things that caught my eye was Gurdjieff and some of the others smoking. :D
