Hold Me While I’m Naked, George Kuchar!

The essential George Kuchar works includes Orphans of the Cosmos, about which George said, ‘It’s really quite a ride and looks like a million bucks for the vision-impaired’.

  • Total running time 90min

The incredible George Kuchar mixed with the cream of the American Avant-garde while taking his inspiration from melodramas and B-movies. His camp, cheap films create feelings of joy, inclusivity, and melancholia, as this collection of shorts reveals.
