After meticulously working and reworking his labor-of-love-child for six years, the radical film-maker has insured his critically acclaimed film remains forever exclusive. He’s done it the only way one can, he’s destroyed every one of the seven copies of the film, and burned all the negatives too. That means that despite earning unprecedented praise from Werner Herzog and Ken Burns, this film will grace zero big screens, and zero home theater screens as well.

The obviously deranged director, clearly having no understanding of the purpose of film or how it’s financed, said, “Film was never meant to be permanent. Film was born as something ephemeral. I consider film more as a performing art than an art of reproduction.” Adding, “This is a different animal… I wanted to make something where every experience will be radically different from another experience.”

To call it a different animal is an understatement. This never-before-seen film epic is more of an endangered species gone extinct, since none but the handful who already have, will have ever seen it.

The final showing from the last remaining print will be shown on the back wall of St. John’s Cathedral. It will be performed for a seating of 900 people, only three times over the weekend, plus two more times at Trinity Church, then lost forever, according to sources.
