Crispin Hellion Glover's Vaudeville-Style Tour Features Controversial Films and Live Performances
From September 5-7, Crispin Hellion Glover will be showcasing his films 'What is it?' and 'It is fine! EVERYTHING IS FINE.' at the IFC Center in New York. The event will include live slide presentations, Q&A sessions, and book signings. These films are part of his 'It' trilogy, exploring themes of racism, self-destruction, and sexuality, while featuring disabled actors. Glover critiques the corporate film industry and promotes 35 mm projection. His performance, 'Crispin Hellion Glover's Big Slide Show,' involves narrating modified 19th-century literature. Influenced by figures like Diane Arbus and Werner Herzog, he addresses humor in challenging topics. Notably, Steven C. Stewart, who appeared in 'It is fine! EVERYTHING IS FINE.' and passed away in 2000, was supported by Glover's earnings. Those interested can subscribe to his email list for tour news.
