The Desert of Forbidden Art will have its debut in Santa Barbara.¬† It’s about art surviving oppression and artists who stay true to their vision are imprisoned or executed.
Their plight inspires Igor Savitsky who daringly rescues 40,000 fellow artists’ works and creates a museum in Uzbekistan’s desert, far from the watchful eyes of the KGB.
This is just a heads up to anyone who happens to be at the fest to be sure not to miss this doc. Info after the cut.
