Andrew Logan is a key figure of London’s art and fashion scene and, since 1972, also the man and shaker behind the extravaganza “The Alternative Miss World.” In this case, it’s not about beauty standards, but about the ability to effect transformation and about appreciating the virtues of “being different.” Director Jes Benstock pays tribute to Logan’s artistic integrity and freedom of expression, opting for a form of film collage deftly combining animation, documentary footage, and the pure joy of life.
British artist and living legend Andrew Logan, loved the world over by celebrities and misfits alike, takes us under his glittering wing and inside his outrageous, anarchic and spectacular costume pageant: the Alternative Miss World Show. As the Shows master of ceremonies and ringmaster, Logan is the high priest of an esteemed congregation. He describes the Show as his most important artwork; a fabulous living sculpture that spans forty years of arts and culture. Using live observational camera, archive and exuberant animation, this documentary charts the mounting of the 2009 Show, interwoven with its history, the rise, fall and rediscovery, of both the event and the artist at its center.
