Andy Kirshner

Andy Kirshner uses film, theatre, music, and scholarship to explore complex social, political, and historical questions. A composer, writer, director, singer, and actor, his interdisciplinary body of work ranges from film, to opera, to experimental music-theatre, to performance art. His recent projects include a docu-fiction film about Henry Ford's antisemitic legacy (10 Questions for Henry Ford), a short film about bipolar disorder and incarceration (Why I Fight), and a "girl-meets-girl" LGBTQ movie-musical and political satire (Liberty's Secret.) Currently he is developing a film about the late 19th-century "sex radical," marriage reformer, and mystic, Ida C. Craddock.
