About the
project

The official film about Albert Hofmann takes the audience on an in-depth journey through the life and mind of the world-famous Swiss chemist who made scientific history with the discovery of LSD. The film not only aims to shed light on the discovery of this substance, but also on the intellectual and spiritual influence of Hofmann, who was researched as a pioneer in the field of consciousness. His life's work goes far beyond chemistry and touches on central questions of human existence, perception and interaction with nature.

The aim of this film is to portray Hofmann's multifaceted life in all its dimensions: as a visionary scientist, as a thinker with a deep understanding of nature and as a human being who always searched for the spiritual core of life. The film will bring together Hofmann's scientific milestones, his philosophical convictions and the formative influence on art, culture and science in a comprehensive and fascinating portrait. Through archival material, personal stories and visual staging, an intimate and inspiring look at his legacy will be taken.

The film is being produced entirely in Switzerland and is currently in the development phase. To ensure an authentic and profound portrayal, Albert Hofmann's relatives are supporting the project as consultants. Their knowledge and experience help to capture Hofmann's life and his messages in all their depth and complexity on film.
