Sell spent a year documenting Mandy Kahn’s peace-focused works of immersive poetry, which are performed by casts of actors and opera singers, and often include crowd participation, as well as props like bubbles and beach balls. The film includes selections from Kahn’s 2019 performance “Gateways to Peace” at the Getty Center museum in Los Angeles, which features large-scale interactive poems that incorporate musical techniques, a site-specific work in the museum’s tram, and a work that occupies the museum’s fountain. Also included are Kahn’s presentations at institutions like the Barrick Museum at UNLV and at the Philosophical Research Society in Los Angeles. In addition, the film documents intimate peace-building presentations in the Joshua Tree desert and on a ranch in Northern California. During the online premiere of the documentary on Wednesday, April 8th at 6pm PDT, Sell will participate in a real-time live chat with viewers. The film will be screened on the YouTube channel of the Philosophical Research Society where Kahn is the 2019-2020 Artist-in-Residence.
