PKD Festival ’25 Movie Review: Indie sci-fi/horror “THE PROTOS EXPERIMENT” has arresting results - Rue Morgue
[The filmmakers’] emphasis remains on mood and tension rather than tech gimmickry…their imagination is expressed in the way they elicit their strange and oppressive world on a very modest budget.

Been just on 10 years since I gave this talk. It was a condensed version of two longer lectures at the time. Still think it's a pretty good run down of how cinematic depictions of psychedelics in the 60s and 70s effectively mirrored cultural attitudes to the drugs.
