A thought-provoking documentary about outsider art perfect for fans of MFF14’s Art
and Craft, Almost There is the eight-year Midwestern odyssey of two filmmakers and the 83-year-old artist they’ve discovered.  Peter Anton is as outside as an artist could possibly get — living in a home literally crumbling around him and surrounded by personal diaries of collage art. It takes the efforts of filmmakers Dan Rybicky and Aaron Wickenden to secure him his first gallery show.  But controversy follows when information about Anton’s complex history comes to light, secrets that whisk him out of his childhood home and into elder care.
