Pathé lets film fans relive movies under hypnosis

Pathé is launching a unique cinematic experiment that allows participants to watch their favorite films as if seeing them for the first time. Through the use of hypnosis, the theater chain aims to temporarily induce memory loss regarding specific movie plots, offering fans a fresh perspective on well-known titles. The available films for this immersive study include The Matrix, Se7en, La La Land, and Interstellar.

To ensure the process is safe and effective, thirty selected participants will undergo a personal online consultation with hypnotist Victor Kraemer before the event. A final hypnotic session will take place immediately prior to the screening, which is scheduled for November 9 at Pathé Buitenhof in The Hague. Following the movie, researchers will analyze whether the participants experienced different emotional reactions compared to previous viewings. Interested fans have until October 29 to submit their applications for this psychological film experience.
