INLAKESH

I am another you

The story

Inlakesh is a fictionalised documentary made in Mexico and Guatemala, presenting a completely different perception of Time.

A typical Gringo (a white man among Indians), wearing a suit and carrying a briefcase (Pasikonik) arrives in the land of the Mayas and travels through cities, mountains, and jungles. He talks to shamans, regular people, and powerful teachers, whose lives and knowledge point the way for the mankind in the New Age, which according to the Mayas (and other ancient cultures) we, the mankind, entered on December 21, 2012. The Gringo visits communities living in peace, harmony, in accord with nature, showing us an alternative and very progressive way of life. The protagonist also meets one of the most important representatives of the Maya elders in Guatemala and finds out about the principles of their famous calendar.

A moving, profound message inspires pondering on one's soul and calls for respecting Mother Earth. The revelations on the fourth dimension of Time and the meaning of the new cycle of the Maya Calendar are mixed with a funny plot, indigenous music recorded live and insights into Maya ceremonies that are not open to the public.

Author

Michal Szymczak, Grasshoper (Polish: Pasikonik), is the wanderer with a camera in his hand, who has enduringly been living on the road for 14 years. Having rambled with his backpack and tent through about 50 countries makes him truly the master of hitchhiking. Living in 16 of these countries gave him a chance to take hold of various professions. Although he feels that the entire planet is his home, it is Latin America where he is most likely to be found.

Mystic, nomad and mentor. Besides studying shamanism and Maya Calendar, he also works with the Native American Medicine and is an adept at the school of Universal Energy. As a specialist in documentaries and grotesque, he creates independent and unusual cinematography. Moreover, he is the founder of Pasikonism *Grasshoppism*, as well as he writes articles and a blog . His main intention is raising people's consciousness and protecting Mother Earth.

BUFFER ZONE

“Buffer Zone”, a film co-authored by Pasikonik, shows a pacifist campaign in the buffer zone in Cyprus, and was entered in the book of anti-war films in Italy.
