Know of the obscure film by E. Dore with G. in the title ?

Question

It showed someone posing as G. Gurdjieff teaching the movements dance on Vancouver Island. I suspect that Dore is a pseudonym for Gold. I saw it in 1989.

Answer 1

I believe the movie you are looking for is called:
"Meetings with Remarkable Men (1978)"

The book was made into a 1979 feature film directed by Peter Brook. Shot on location in Afghanistan (except for dance sequences, which were filmed in England), it starred Terence Stamp, and Dragan Maksimovic as the adult Gurdjieff.

The "plot" (to the extent that the film can be said to have a plot) involves Gurdjieff and his companions' search for truth in a series of dialogues and vignettes, much as in the book. Unlike the book, these result in a definite climax — Gurdjieff's initiation into the mysterious Sarmoung Brotherhood. The film is noteworthy for making public some glimpses of the "Gurdjieff movements"; and for containing almost no sex or violence.
