Phyllis Bramson's lecture at SOFA/Outsider 2011 show: Henry Darger's Bright and Guilty Place, (contemporary propositions about his influence.)

Phyllis Bramson: Love and Affection in a Hostile World
Filmmaker Doug vanderHoof used Bramson's written artist statement as the armature of this short documentary. Painting/collaging in her Chicago studio, discussing her work with a minimum of artspeak and a maximum of intimate detail, she invites the audience for a revealing studio visit.
