| Made when she was just 18 years oId, Barbara Rubin's art-porn masterpiece Christmas On Earth (1963-65) shocked NYC's experimental film scene and inspired NYC's thriving underground. For the next four years her filmmaking and irrepressible energy helped shatter artistic and sexist boundaries. A mythical ZeIig of the sixties, she introduced Andy Warhol to the Velvet Underground and Bob DyIan to the KabbaIah. 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 film takes us inside the world and mind of Barbara Rubin; a woman who truIy believed that fiIm couId change the worId. Critics have christened her The American Rimbaud, for the poetry of her work, the trajectory of her Iife, and her legacy. This bold, 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.
