An experimental narrative set in post-revolutionary Russia, MAGGOTS AND MEN recounts the 1921 Kronstadt sailor uprising with a twist of gender anarchy. Shot on Super 8 and 16mm, this theatrical homage to silent Soviet cinema fantasizes the historical - and homoerotic - relations of the all-male crew with queer and transgender actors from across the masculine spectrum. Beautifully realized, MAGGOTS AND MEN is a celebration and call to arms for radical queers everywhere!
