A janitor by day, reclusive artist by night, the late Henry Darger spent 60 years quietly creating a massive body of visionary art and literature, including a 15,000-page novel that depicts the adventures of seven angelic sisters who lead a rebellion against child-enslaving men. Using a team of animators and experimental film techniques, Jessica Yu brings Darger’s singular imagination to life. 2003, U.S., color, 35mm, 81 minutes.
