Description

Outside a small bar in Kingston, NY, Mark Hogancamp was beaten nearly to death, his memories wiped away. Seeking recovery, he builds Marwencol, a miniature World War II-era town filled with doll versions of his friends, fantasies, and even his attackers. As he documents the town’s dramas with his camera, the dolls become living characters in an epic tale of love, adventure, resurrection and revenge. When his photos are discovered by the art world, Mark is suddenly forced to choose between the safety of his imaginary world and the real world he’s avoided since the attack. Winner of over a dozen awards, including two Independent Spirit Awards & Best Documentary of the Year from Boston Society of Film Critics.

    Mesmerizing portrayal of somebody building a whole world of memories. A cross between abstract fantasy and an incredibly sensitive documentary. Tender, very human and totally surprising.
  • Compelling and Touching

    This movie unlike almost every other stands apart on a minds eye view of tragedy and coping with the kind of detail only ones mind can manufacture to protect you from yourself. I simply don't have the words to describe it only to say I've watched it over a dozen times and with each I come away with a different perspective and narrative. Two words, "Watch It"
