Filmmakers
Director
Zayne du Paix
This is Zayne’s first competitive documentary. Zayne’s personal discovery of Yeats, drives the storytelling in The 13th Cone.
Zayne du Paix previously won Best Experimental Film at the Berlin Indie Film Festival in 2023 for his short film, Death. It was narrated by Ukraine’s Man-of-Letters Andrey Kirkov, from his book Diary of an Invasion – about the exchange of dead soldiers between Russia and Ukraine. The two met at a Swedenborgian Church in Palo Alto.
Originally intended to be a lecture at the Gnostic Society in Los Angeles, this project took on more significance when the leader of the Gnostic Society, Stephan Hoeller died in May of 2026. This documentary is meant as a memorial to him.
Writer / Producer
Michael Bloom
This is Michael Bloom’s first competitive documentary. Michael is a Tisch School of the Arts alum, and holds a Master’s Degree in Bioethics from the College of Global Public Health at New York University as well.

In addition to The 13th Cone coming in 2027, Michael will be premiering his novella called The Will, the Word and the Wheel based on a short story by Philip K. Dick.

Short biography
Helena B.

Her multidisciplinary research combines history, archaeology, symbolism and sacred geography with depth and archetypal psychology.

She holds an MA (Hons.) in Public History and Cultural Heritage from the University of Limerick, a Diploma in Jungian Psychology and a Certificate in Shadow Work from the C. G. Jung Centre Dublin. She has also trained extensively in depth and archetypal psychology, including with Dr Laurence Hillman, son of James Hillman, founder of archetypal psychology. An author and international lecturer, she speaks at conferences and lectures for Jungian societies, museums, heritage organisations and cultural institutions internationally. She is also a tutor at the College of Psychic Studies, London.
Founder of the Dark Mother Institute, Helena is completing a forthcoming book that will present the first dedicated historiography of its kind on Black Madonnas, introducing previously unrecorded examples, revealing overlooked histories and exploring their relationship to the Dark Mother archetype.

Recent projects include presentations at the National Library of Ireland for the centenary of A Vision and a revised edition of Yeats’s early works on folklore and esoteric fiction, Mythologies (November 2026), and he is currently working on an edition of manuscripts associated with A Vision.
