Stice's Satyricon (BLU-RAY)

In the oldest known work of literature (written by Petronius in 63-65 AD), an educated man named Encolpius wanders around ancient Rome with his slave, Giton, getting into every kind of trouble imaginable. Encolpius encounters poets, prostitutes, witches, minotaurs, and more in the pursuit of adventure and pleasure. Famously adapted by Federico Fellini in 1969 on 35mm Panavision, this manic adaptation was shot primarily on a built-in laptop camera, then chopped up and collaged into gorgeous, hypnotizing oblivion. The story is interspersed with sublime digital animation and Jake Lichter's alternatingly beautiful and abrasive music. Starring director Caroline Bennett in every role, Stice's Satyricon is bold, brassy, and must be seen to be believed. Art Label is proud to present this jaw-dropping piece of contemporary video art from two of the most fiercely unique and prolific artists working today.
