LAST HIPPIE STANDING
Thirty years ago, this was a movement which came to Goa to find something they couldn't find at home. Many returned, a few stayed. Goa, the hippie paradise of the 60's is our point where we start to search for "the last hippies". This former Portuguese colony in the south of India was for many the final destination after adventurous travels through Greece, Turkey, Iran, Afghanistan and Pakistan. Dreamlike untouched beaches promised to be a new holy land, which was also the spritual basis for Alex Garland's novel "The Beach".
After viewing historical Super8 material we started searching for the famous beaches and found a new youth culture which seemed to be similar to the old hippie culture. Raver, Part-Time-Hippies, Backpacker und "normal" people enjoyed the beaches. We met people from Japan, Israel, Australia and the UK. Anjuna Beach is the center of the infamous Goa parties. Here, the millenium celebrations promised the best of all Goa parties. This is where the youth of the world demonstrated their understanding of fun. Written by Chris Wolski

GOA HIPPY TRIBE
The Goa Hippy Tribe project is about people who shared a common space and time on the shores of Goa, India during the 70’s ‘hippy revolution’ and are now re-uniting after more than 30 years via Facebook.
Australian film-maker Darius Devas has travelled back to Goa to document this unique re-union of old friends and will be posting video interviews to the Goa Hippy Tribe facebook group and fanpages with people central to this story such as Eight Finger Eddie, Goa Gil, Vidal Angel, Tobias Moss, Haya Zommer, Serge and
many others on a weekly basis throughout March and April.
The Goa Hippy Tribe fanpage is where you will be able to easily follow the video series as each interview is released. The fanpage is also our archive of videos so you can watch past videos too.
