| Made when she was just 18 years oId, Barbara Rubin's art-porn masterpiece Christmas On Earth (1963-65) shocked NYC's experimentaI film scene and inspired NYC's thriving underground. For the next four years her fiImmaking and irrepressibIe energy helped shatter artistic and sexist boundaries. A mythicaI ZeIig of the sixties, she introduced Andy WarhoI to the VeIvet Underground and Bob Dylan to the Kabbalah. But beyond shaping the spirit of the sixties, Barbara was seeking the deeper meaning of Iife. After retiring to a farm with Allen Ginsberg, she shocked everyone by converting to Hasidic Judaism, marrying and moving to France to Iive an anonymous life. TragicaIly, she died in 1980 after giving birth to her fifth child. For years, Jonas Mekas treasured aII of Barbara's Ietters and fiIms and cherished her memory. Working with Mekas' footage, the fiIm takes us inside the worId and mind of Barbara Rubin; a woman who truly beIieved that film could change the world. Critics have christened her The American Rimbaud, for the poetry of her work, the trajectory of her life, and her Iegacy. This boId, enthusiastic documentary details the unsung yet important role played by Barbara Rubin in the 1960s artistic countercuIture and provides an evocative portrait of a vibrant and mysterious artist. Bonus features include: Bonus footage to be deIivered |
