About the Film
While serving six years in a federal penitentiary, artist Jesse Krimes secretly created monumental works of art, including Apokaluptein: 16389067–an astonishing 40-foot mural made with prison bed sheets, hair gel, and newspaper. He smuggled out each panel piece-by-piece with the help of fellow artists, and saw the complete work for the first time upon his release. As Krimes’s work captured the art world’s attention, he struggled to adjust to life outside, living with the threat that any misstep could trigger a life sentence. Described by ARTnews as “an eye-opening look at how one artist is seeking to lift the veil on a part of American society that has been made largely invisible to the public” the film speaks to the power of art as a humanizing force and a call for transformation.
Art & Krimes by Krimes is directed by Alysa Nahmias; produced by Amanda Spain, Benjamin Murray, and Alysa Nahmias; with executive producers Sheila Nevins, Jenifer Westphal, Joe Plummer, Patty Quillin, Hallee Adelman, and Ivy Herman; co-executive producers Nion McEvoy and Leslie Berriman, Ruth Ann Harnisch, and Sheri Sobrato-Brisson. Art & Krimes by Krimes is an MTV Documentary Films project, produced by AJNA Productions in association with Wavelength & Giving Voice Films.
