Jim Finn’s movies, five of which you can watch exclusively on our platform, have been called ‘Utopian comedies’ and ‘trompe l’oeil films’. Their sheer strangeness and wild invention sets them apart from virtually any non-fiction or hybrid filmmaking in the world today.
Finn's Communist Trilogy, part of this program, is in the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art, New York. His most recent film, about the US Civil War, toured festivals around the world last year. “Steeped in the obsolete language of revolutionary art," The New York Times wrote that "Mr. Finn’s meticulous, deadpan mockumentaries often play like unearthed artifacts from an alternate universe."
