Paul Davids (11-19-19) Motion Pictures and Non-Conventional Consciousness

Having now reached his 70’s, noted producer / director Paul Davids states that his life experiences include a variety of mind-boggling incidents that defy scientific understanding. After graduating from Princeton University (with a degree in psychology) and completing a fellowship at the American Film Institute (AFI) Center for Advanced Film Studies, Paul became filmmaker of motion pictures that go to the heart of what those interested in UFO’s, alternative history and the “paranormal” are seeking.

His 1987 daylight saucer sighting with his two children became a catalyst for him to become the co-writer and executive producer of Showtime’s “Roswell: The UFO Cover-up” (1994). He has also had experiences (including with physical evidence) that suggest afterlife or “spirit world” communication. His interests expanded over the years to include all types of “paranormal” phenomena: reincarnation, deep hypnosis, ghosts and spirits, shamanism, synchronicities, psychedelic experiences and even apparitions of the Virgin Mary, Jesus’ missing years and other Biblical mysteries.

Paul received much praise for his presentation as the closing speaker at the July 2019 MUFON International Symposium in Irvine. Now Paul brings us a completely different talk as our November speaker. The theme is “non-conventional consciousness” and motion pictures. He will examine film history to highlight some of the major films that deal with topics shunned by the “Establishment,” and he will show that many of his own films fit in with those themes. He will try to answer the question as to how a boy from a very “straight” suburban community very far from Hollywood, whose parents were agnostics who didn’t believe in ANY of the “strange” subjects he came to embrace – how it is that he came a fierce proponent of so many topics that the so-called “mainstream” always tries to debunk. He will give us intimate details of events in his life defy explanation and inspired him toward the directions in life he has taken.

Paul promises this presentation will be a rousing, paranormal roller coaster ride.
