On Thurs Nov 24, 18:30, live Q&A with Andrew Logan and director Jes Benstock
Also screening on 22 November – book for this date
The legendary British artist and champion of misfits, Andrew Logan, takes us on a kaleidoscopic trip through the glamorous, outrageous world of his costume pageant, The Alternative Miss World. As its creator and Master of Ceremonies, Logan traces the 40 year history of the show using fantastic archive footage; talking heads from the art, fashion, music and theater worlds; and fantastical animation from director Jes Benstock (think style of Monty Python, here). Logan describes the event as his most important artwork; a fabulous living sculpture that spans four decades of arts and culture. We say even that is under-selling it! The British Guide to Showing Off is a surprisingly sincere and very humorous documentary that puts one man’s uncompromising passion centre stage.
