Anjelica Huston narrates this documentary, which is a sometimes surreal exploration of the spectacularly dreamlike world of Salvador Dali’s protégé, Steven Arnold, and his strikingly creative and influential body of work filled with occult rituals, Hollywood camp, and surrealist art nouveau whimsy. Featuring interviews with his friend Ellen Burstyn, and taken from more than 70 hours of original and archival footage, the film includes rare footage of Holly Woodlawn. Director and first-time filmmaker, Vishnu Dass digs deeply into the decadent, countercultural and inspiring life of this little known multimedia queer artist.
Screens with the short film "The Making of Panthera." The Making of Panthera is a character-driven documentary short about 25-year-old Brooklyn-based drag queen Panthera Lush, whose awe-inspiring creations are the product of hundreds of painstaking hours spent at the sewing machine.
