Alberta #3
Availability ended 12/6/2020 EDT
Alberta #3 is a meditation on family, heredity, madness, and time. It is a body of collected fieldnotes of artist and writer Bradley Necyk as he explored his experience as an intergenerational being—finding a line from his ancestors through himself to his children, his children's children, and his children's children's children. He experiences and reflects on madness through both his doctoral research at a psychiatric hospital and his own mania following that research. Directed by Kyle Terrence and performed by Necyk, this film weaves larger, longer stories of madness and time.
