The Genius

Released: 1993-04-02
Studios: Massachusetts Council on the Arts and Humanities, National Endowment for the Arts, AFI, Boston Film/Video Foundation,


A ramshackle underground SF satire set and shot in the self-absorbed art world of lower Manhattan, written, produced, and directed by Joe Gibbons, who also plays one of the lead parts. Gibbons plays a mad scientist who's developed a technique for transferring personalities from one person's body to another; he becomes obsessed with an outlaw artist (played by performance artist Karen Finley) who destroys paintings in various galleries as a form of anarchist, anticapitalist protest.
