Few works about the American Civil War reach the level of historical detail and formal playfulness as this musical fantasia about Ulysses S. Grant’s liberatory march through the southern United States. Jim Finn merges stop motion animation, 16mm film, and a 70s-inspired synth score into an unlikely anti-racist combination.
The Annotated Field Guide of Ulysses S. Grant will be followed by a live online Q&A with Jim Finn which will be live-streamed from the cinema to Selects.
