We’re living in a conformist time. Most choose ‘follow and obey’ being their live challenge. An expected natural instinctively reaction. With the majority attempting to define the word ‘normal’, Shinafest becomes even more absolute necessary.
Also this year we present you a small, but fine selection of artists. Surprising, innovating, different, challenging, pioneering, experimental,…… But, isn’t that normal?

THE BALLAD OF GENESIS AND LADY JAYE. (USA) a movie by Marie Losier
A love story, and portrait of two lives that illustrate the transformative powers of both love and art.
Marie Losier brings to us the most intimate details of Genesis’s extraordinary, uncanny world. In warm and intimate
images captured handheld, Losier crafts a labyrinthine mise-en-scene of interviews, home movies, and performance footage.
The Ballad of Genesis and Lady Jaye documents a truly new brand of Romantic consciousness, one in defiance of the daily dehumanization of the body by the pervasive presence of advertising and pornography, conveying beauty, dignity and devotion from a perspective never before seen on film.
