Basic factoids concerning Zeitgeist part 1: Zeitgeist: The Movie, Part 1 on religion (2007), is only around 25 minutes long and is merely a basic introduction into the world of comparative religion, mythology and astrotheology. Zeitgeist has been translated into nearly 3 dozen languages and has received over 300 million online views worldwide (as of 2013) - so theres clearly quite a bit of interest in this subject. Zeitgeist was never created to serve as a scholarly documentary, therefore, one may disagree with specific language in how Peter Joseph said or presented things as he does not pretend to be a scholar, however, the contentions in Zeitgeist part 1 are substantiated by valid evidence and scholar commentary on them. In all the criticisms of Zeitgeist part 1 on religion it appears far too many people have totally misunderstood how and why Zeitgeist part 1 was created in the first place and criticize it based on false premises. Despite claims to the contrary, Zeitgeist part 1 has not been successfully refuted. Zeitgeist: The Movie won the top award, Best Feature, at the Artivist Film Festival in 2007 and are currently up to 30 awards. Acharya S appeared on a panel to answer questions about part 1 in front of a packed house at the Egyptian Theater in Hollywood, California. Read the Q & A at the Zeitgeist website to see how it came into existence: HOW DID ZEITGEIST: THE MOVIE COME TO BE?: The original Zeitgeist was actually not a film, but a performance piece, which consisted of a vaudevillian style multi-media event using recorded music, live instruments and video. The event was given over a 6-night period in New York City and then, without any interest to professionally release or produce the work, was tossed up on the Internet arbitrarily. The work was never designed as a film or even a documentary in a traditional sense - it was designed as a creative, provoking, emotionally driven expression, full of artistic extremity and heavily stylized gestures. However, once online, an unexpected flood of interest began to generate. Within 6 months over 50 Million views were recorded on Google Video counters (before they were reset for some reason). The current combined estimates put the number of Internet views at over 100 million as of 2009. Suddenly Zeitgeist the event, became Zeitgeist: The Movie.
