Life Is about Losing Everything
Benjamin Ramírez Pérez, Stefan Ramírez Pérez
Experimental, Documentary : 100' / Avantgarde, Performance, Identity, Feminism, Dystopian, Art & Artists

A hybrid documentary, equal parts feminist artist portrait and fantastical memoir, exploring loss and love through the lens of pop culture and art. Based on Canadian poet Lynn Crosbie’s memoir of the same name, the film follows multiple fictionalized incarnations of Crosbie as they embark on a delirious journey through the writer’s memories and imagination, encountering celebrity lookalikes, an inch-tall man, uncanny high schoolers, and a Zombie Sylvia Plath along the way. Drawing on a wealth of pop and literary references, the film reflects on the role of art and storytelling in finding kinship and giving meaning to our lives.

 

* Filmmakers Benjamin Ramírez Pérez and Stefan Ramírez Pérez, production designer Johanna Senger and DOP Paul Faltz will attend the screening.
