The Artist and the Pervert

Languages English / German

Original languages in German Documentaries catalogue.

A documentary portrait of composer Georg Friedrich Haas and kink educator Mollena Williams-Haas, connecting their relationship with music, race and self-determination.

The filmmakers began the project after reading a 2016 newspaper profile and sought to let the couple describe their own relationship. It offers wider BDSM and artistic context rather than a dedicated account of rope technique.
