French film production and distribution company Path\u00e9 is performing an experiment to see if it can wipe classic movies from people\u2019s minds and let them experience them afresh.<\/p>\n
Path\u00e9 is working in collaboration with hypnotist Victor Kraemer to mind wipe 30 movie buffs to see if they can relive that first viewing. The event is called Path\u00e9 Rewind. <\/p>\n
Registration for the event is now closed, but applicants were chosen based on film preferences, personal motivation, availability and consent to take part in the promotion. Selected participants will be invited to a one-to-one online session with hypnotist Victor Kraemer.<\/p>\n
12 of the Most Outrageous Twists in Movie History<\/p>\n
Just before the film screening, participants will once again be put under hypnosis by Victor Kraemer, after which the selected film will be shown on the big screen. Three movies are being considered \u2014 The Matrix<\/a>, Se7en<\/a>, La La Land<\/a> and Interstellar<\/a> \u2014 and one will be chosen based on which has the most familiarity to the chosen 30.<\/p>\n What\u2019s in the box? Are we living in a simulation? What happens when you go really far away? Can Ryan Gosling sing? Imagine not knowing the answers to these questions. <\/p>\n Path\u00e9 said there is no guarantee any of this will work, of course, but it\u2019ll be interesting to see the outcome. From a distance. I don\u2019t want to be memory wiped, thank you. Especially when you consider the following disclaimer: \u201cPath\u00e9 accepts no liability for the outcome, the effect, or any other consequences of the hypnosis sessions.<\/p>\n \u201cThrough this experiment, Path\u00e9 is investigating whether hypnosis can contribute to a new cinema experience,\u201d the disclaimer continued. \u201cPath\u00e9 makes no claims regarding the effectiveness of hypnosis as a method.\u201d<\/p>\n The cinema experiment will take place on Monday, November 9 at Path\u00e9 Buitenhof in The Hague. Babe, fancy a date to The Hague to get memory-holed? <\/p>\n Check out the IGN list of the top 25 movies of all time<\/a> and let us know which ones you\u2019d like to experience for the first time again.
