Set in a mythologized, post-revolutionary Russia, Maggots and Men re-imagines the 1921 uprising of the Kronstadt sailors. 


This fascinating moment in history is re-enacted with an ensemble cast featuring scores of trans, non-binary, and gender non-conforming actors.  Directed by Cary Cronenwett.

Want to make a full weekend out of it? Here is a full list of events:

PEACE OF MIND documents the life of American artist, Flo McGarrell, prior to his untimely death in the earthquake that struck Haiti in January of 2010. Through interviews, local artists discuss McGarrell’s impact on the community and the small queer movement that was instigated around the FOSAJ Art Center in Jacmel where he worked.
"It's a special opportunity for me to have these two films play together. I met Flo McGarrell when we collaborated on Maggots and Men -- so brilliant and creative, Flo was truly a pleasure to work with. We formed a strong bond while immersing ourselves in that film, and as a meditation on longing and the loss of our brief friendship, Peace of Mind is the sequel."
- Director, Cary Cronenwett
