HEAVEN IS A TRAFFIC JAM ON THE 405
Documentary /USA/2017/40 minutes
Directed by Frank Stiefel
2018 ACADEMY AWARD WINNER FOR BEST DOCUMENTARY SHORT!
An extraordinary documentary portrait of LA artist Mindy Alper, whose astonishing body of work reveals a lifetime of struggle with debilitating mental illness and family dysfunction. Her only consistent means of communicating has been to channel her self-awareness into remarkable drawings and sculpture. Through an examination of her work, interviews, and the building of an eight foot papier-mache bust we learn how she has emerged from a life of darkness to a life that includes love, trust and laughter. From director Frank Stiefel (Ingelore, 2009).
