For the 105th anniversary of the Kronstadt rebellion

Maggots and Men is an experimental depiction of the story of the March 1921 uprising of the Kronstadt sailors. Anarchist sailors in a Russian port city rose up against the increasingly bureaucratic Soviet government.

Featuring the largest cast of trans actors ever in a film and reminiscent of the films of Kenneth Anger and Guy Maddin, Cary Cronenwett pays homage to Battleship Potemkin (1921) along with the theater group Blue Blouse.

“In Drawing a parallel between the history of revolution and the free expression of gender, Maggots and Men evokes the poignant sense that our present world is haunted by radical potentials that have yet to be fulfilled."  -- Susan Stryker
