A film by Portland, OR multimedia collective Body Academics, and supported in part by the PDX-based Regional Arts and Culture Council, EVIL BABYLON is a phantasmagorical, psychosexual science-fiction movie musical masterpiece: the story of a sexually-repressed evangelical race car driver who dies in a church-sanctioned deathmatch and the kink-positive party planet that leads him on a journey towards self acceptance. Made with all-original music, incredible animation, and starring a bevy of Portland drag all-stars, EVIL BABYLON is a riotous new spectacle that must be seen to be believed.

In his 40-year career since his first "author's film", "Le vol d'Icare" (1974), Schwizgebel has made hardly more than 15 short and medium-length films, mostly using the technique of animated acrylic painting. The brushstrokes and color effects give his works an incredible poetry. Virtually wordless and often accompanied by a piece of music, they are characterized by the stillness of painting and the constant movement of a camera: an eye that wanders and moves around the image itself, which is therefore constantly changing. Schwizgebel plays with repetitions, circles and references (especially to the areas of film and painting). He has created an exciting work that is worth discovering in the form of this collection - all at once and in chronological order.
