Tagline

"Kill The Artist" is a documentary about artists who got into trouble with the law because of their art-works.

Synopsis

Using never before seen footage along with rare films from Richard Kern, Nick Zedd and German filmmakers Jörg Buttgereit and Olaf Ittenbach, "Kill The Artist" takes a look at the ultimate power play - Sex and Death.

"Kill The Artist" reveals the extreme measures lawmakers and critics go through to censor avant-garde artists who walk the fine line between art, perversion, religion and devious sexual behavior.

Director's Statement

"Kill the Artist" starts out as a documentary about avant-garde artists and underground filmmakers. It quickly develops into an art-piece, which confronts the viewers with their eternal fears and dark desires.

The video was six years in the making, and developed over time into a piece of art-cocktail mixed with erotic journalism, and has now been released on DVD.

CreateSpace, a subsidiary of Amazon, has refused to produce the DVD on demand, in 2007, because of its extreme content.
