Director Nicolas Steiner Attending 4/11
In a world where popular culture is obsessed with post-apocalyptic possibilities, Swiss director Nicolas Steiner’s outsider portrait of five Americans living decidedly off the grid strikes a fascinating surreal tone. Far away and out of sight, Above and Below chronicles life on the fringes: Rick, Cindy and Lalo “the Godfather” who live in the tunnels below Las Vegas, April who role-plays life on Mars in the deserts of Utah, Dave who lives in an abandoned military bunker. Steiner’s unique documentary is reverent celebration of society’s unorthodox outliers.
