Creative Minds: “Art Spiegelman: Disaster Is My Muse” Film Screening & Director Talk (norfolk)
March 15 @ 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm
This revealing portrait offers an intimate look at the Pulitzer Prize-winning creator of Maus, exploring how personal trauma, cultural catastrophe, the Holocaust, and political unrest have shaped Spiegelman’s life and work.
After the screening, the film’s directors will take the stage to discuss the making of the film, the challenges of capturing such a complex figure on screen, and the creative choices behind telling Spiegelman’s story. Audiences will gain behind-the-scenes insights into the storytelling process, archival research, and the unique responsibility of documenting an artist whose work continues to resonate worldwide.
This event is funded in part by the citizens of Virginia Beach through a grant from the City of Virginia Beach Arts and Humanities Commission.
