PRETTY DIRTY: THE LIFE AND TIMES OF MARILYN MINTER

NYC PREMIERE A vibrant portrait of Marilyn Minter, the trailblazing feminist whose glamorous, provocative, and unapologetically sexual work has redefined contemporary art’s boundaries for nearly five decades. Moving between biography, studio practice, and cultural history, the film traces her rise in New York’s art world, the controversies she sparked within feminist discourse, and the enduring influence of her lush, subversive images. Fast-paced, stylish, and full of celebrity cameos, it celebrates an artist who insists on pleasure as power. – Ruth Somalo
