Ghost Artist

Ghost Artist presents the story of Robert Cordier, whose avant-garde film about medicine and the body made waves at the Montreal world’s fair, causing 20,000 people to faint. This documentary uncovers how Cordier’s work was inspired by his collaborations with iconic artists such as James Baldwin, Andy Warhol, Allen Ginsberg, Jean Genet, and Salvador Dalí.

As a piece in the documentary genre, Ghost Artist aligns with titles like Searching for Sugarman and Finding Vivien Maier, exploring themes of art and rediscovery. It provides an in-depth look at a unique figure whose contributions have been overlooked in the contemporary art scene. Collectors of art-related documentaries may find this film a valuable exploration of the intersections between visual art and societal issues.
