The Man Without a World

One of the most unusual, artistic and fabulous films from American Indie history, THE MAN WITHOUT A WORLD is credited to legendary Soviet director Yevgeny Antinov...but that is far from the whole truth. Antinov is nothing but a persona created by contemporary filmmaker Eleanor Antin, a world-renowned artist, author and performer who's exhibited her work at museums and galleries around the world. Through her performative artwork, Antin explores and reimagines history, portraying the Crimean War under the guise of nurse Eleanor Nightingale or skewering racism by becoming famous Black ballerina Eleanora Antinova. This first feature-length film by the visionary director collects an amazing cast and crew including Pier Marton, Christine Berry, Anna Henriques, Marcia Goodman, Don Sommese and more.

Restoration funding provided by the Sunrise Foundation for Education and the Arts. New score composed and performed by Alicia Svigals (violin) and Donald Sosin (piano). Digital picture restoration by lluminate Hollywood. Restoration supervised by Ross Lipman in consultation with Eleanor Antin.

New score by Donald Sosin and Alicia Svigals. Donald Sosin and Alicia Svigal are available to perform live with the film at no cost to the venue. Contact Kino Lorber for more information.
