Taking place in an anachronistic anti-era, “Kairos Dirt” is a feature film produced by Madsen Minax that “explores the interconnected lives of a 75 year old gender variant book artist, a mousy and mystical mortician, a religious couple grieving the loss of their child, a spiritual medium/phone sex operator/life coach, a lesbian hospice provider, a 12 year old gender ambiguous child conduit, and a polyamorous middle school lunch lady. Narratives intertwine when each discovers a cross-dimensional apparition, who brings them together to venture into a void space/time to (re)visit their notions of self. Each of these characters negotiate the intersections of desire, transformation and death to examine what it means to long for a feeling of ‘wholeness.'”
Conceptualized by Minax over three years ago, he “wanted to make a film that showed differently sized bodies, queer and transgender and gender ambiguous bodies engaging beyond the politics of queerness. And parallel ideas of nonlinear time, youth, growth and death within a framework of sexuality and desire. Most importantly, [he] wanted to do this in a way in which these issues were not isolated, but fluid, floating in a larger mix of seemingly ordinary human struggles. [He] wanted to use tropes of science fiction, fantasy, and magical realism to do so.”
