The Illiac Passion

The film follows Prometheus on an Odyssean journey across the Brooklyn Bridge, searching for characters from his imagination. His quest leads him to meet the Muse and venture into a "forest" where he interacts with various selves, represented by figures from the New York underground scene. These characters serve as modern counterparts to figures from Greek mythology.

The Illiac Passion intertwines a translation of Aeschylus' Prometheus Bound with a narrative that highlights the timelessness of its characters. The film features a diverse cast including Richard Beauvais, David Beauvais, and Taylor Mead, contributing to its rich exploration of identity and creativity. With its avant-garde approach, this film appeals to those interested in experimental cinema and LGBT narratives from the late 1960s.
