Legendary Experimental & Documentary Filmmaker Abigail Child Receives Career Retrospective at NYC’s Anthology Film Archives .

At times playful and at others intensely provocative, the cinema of Abigail Child has been a cornerstone of the American avant-garde film movement since the late 1970s. Poet, visual artist and filmmaker Abigail Child has absorbed the best of mentors like Jonas Mekas, experimental icons like Marie Menken, Len Lye & Arthur Lipsett, and has been a trailblazer for LGBTQIA+ artists alongside fellow game-changers like Barbara Hammer and Yvonne Rainer.

The work is emotionally probing, intellectually challenging, and visually arresting. Every image is a masterful flourish filled with power, and each sounds an alarm, a call to arms for each of us to march forward in our own personal journey. 

A destroyer of boundaries and builder of bridges, the work traverses the finest experimental cinema and the very best of the documentary form.

These fantastic works have been lovingly curated in a long overdue career retrospective for Abigail Child, presented at New York’s Anthology Film Archives from March 24th to the 28th, 2023.

AK23-9. Anika Savoy, and New York City Lunatic Asylum

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Authors Kiss with Sara Troy and her guest Anika Savoy, on air from February 28th

Explore the history of the New York City Lunatic Asylum Award-winning, paranormal, historical romance author Anika Savoy

Life is hard enough without having to deal with ghosts following you around every day. Maggie O’Connor wishes that she did not have psychic gifts but coming from a long line of Irish female seers, she never had a choice. Faced with having to care for her departed sister’s orphaned baby, Maggie struggles to pay the rent while working for pennies at a local Bowery sweatshop. Her life goes from bad to worse when a wicked neighbor steals the baby.
Things look up when the handsome son of Maggie’s employer falls for her. Gershom understands that having psychic gifts does not necessarily make a woman crazy. If only the local judge agreed. When Maggie ends up at the New York City Lunatic Asylum on Blackwell’s Island, she must find a way to escape and return to Gershom’s loving arms.
Will Maggie be stuck in a madhouse forever? Even if she escapes, can she and Gershom rescue the lost baby? The obstacles seem insurmountable, but anything is possible with the assistance of ghostly helpers and Andrew Carnegie, one of America’s richest men.

His Garden: Conversations with a Serial Killer

A lawyer gets inside the mind of a notorious New England serial killer in this award-winning and “grimly compelling” true crime (Kirkus).

For nine months of 2003, William Devin Howell went on a killing spree in and around New Britain, Connecticut. Seven people went missing; all of their bodies were eventually discovered in a wooded lot behind a strip mall. But the investigation that led to Howell’s arrest is only part of the story.

Attorney and author Anne K. Howard aka Anika Savoy, first contacted Howell while he was serving a fifteen-year sentence for one of his murders. He was about to be charged for the remaining six. A unique and disturbing friendship between the two began, comprised of written correspondence, face-to-face prison visits, and recorded phone calls. Over the course of years, Howell shared his troubled history with Howard. When his case was finally over, he told her every intimate, grizzly detail of how he became Connecticut’s most prolific serial killer.

In His Garden, Howard probes the complicated mind of William Devin Howell. It is a story that explores the eternal question of human evil and its impact on others, including the woman he chose to hear his horrific confession.

AK22-45. Peter Golenbock, Baseball Historian Author.

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Authors Kiss with Sara Troy and her guest Peter Golenbock, on air from November 1st

As fans across the country watch with great excitement as Aaron Judge prepares to surpass the iconic Roger Maris’s home run tally, NY times bestselling author and baseball historian Peter Golenbock is sharing his insights into what this monumental event means for the game.

Legendary Baseball Writer/Historian Peter Golenbock on the intertwined legacies of Roger Maris and Aaron Judge

“Aaron Judge is about to break Roger Maris’ single-season home run record, and baseball fans everywhere should stand and applaud. In an era when every pitcher throws 95 miles an hour, making a home run hitting very difficult, the even-tempered Yankee slugger has performed with uncommon skill, class, and grace. When he contends that winning games are more important than setting records, you believe him. I cheered Roger when he broke Babe’s record, and I will do the same when Judge breaks Maris’s record. Amazingly, he’s also going to win the Triple Crown. All hail the judge.”

AK22-43. Yessoh GD, African Mysticism and Sorcery.

Self Discovery Wisdom Podcast

Authors Kiss with Sara Troy with her guest Yessoh GD, on air from October 18th

When two strangers are thrown into a world of African sorcery, unseen evil, and mystical phenomena, they are forced to confront a fantastical realm that they never imagined existed.

Very few manage to land a job working in the special services for the West African government of Côte d’Esperance. Even fewer are given the responsibility that has been entrusted to Kobenan at such a young age in a role that includes analysing files for the secretive S-cell; a unit which specializes in incidents involving African mysticism and sorcery.

Tasked with investigating a high profile murder, seemingly brought about by mystical means, Kobenan joins Agent Biafle in order to diffuse this delicate political situation. What Kobenan discovers will force him to change his perspective on the world around him as he learns truths he never thought possible, and things he never imagined.

Dive into a world shrouded in mystery and learn of the multifaceted face of Africa. Its lives, its rituals, its many beliefs and thought processes. Observe what one will never be able to see if he has not gained access to a very specific circle rooted in the continent.
