George - The Story of George Maciunas and Fluxus

George Maciunas was the founder of Fluxus, a radical avant-garde art movement of the 20th century. The film traces how the Lithuanian-born polymath assembled an international network of artists that provoked social and political change through performance, ready-mades and artworks aimed at collapsing the boundary of art and life. From developing the first artist-owned lofts in SoHo, New York, to his attempt to realize a utopian society on a desolate island in the Caribbean, Maciunas was an uncompromising visionary with a rebellious sense of humor. What emerges is a kaleidoscopic portrait of Maciunas' bold and tragic life. Fascinatingly contradictory interviews with artists, including Yoko Ono, Jonas Mekas, Nam June Paik and Milan Knizak.
