Mar 17, 2014 This is a great gorilla style underground documentary. It follows the creation of 100 dolls given to a similar amount of artist for a show staged in Lisbon Portugal. The Antagonists bring unfettered charm and creativity to every step of this journey. Its more than worth a watch it a fun story to own.

(a gem, by the way, which caused me to invest in his first book "Rich Boy Cries For Mamma.") A posse of passionate renegades antagonizing others into making art. Turns out the dude makes a lot of films too, about art and music and all the things I cant get enough of. "The Dolls of Lisbon" follows some party-loving artists to various parts of the globe especially Lisbon where they interact with local artists who have decorated/created/painted canvas & wire dolls that Ethan sewed together in his NYC home. The trip culminates in a wildly successful art festival. These dolls on the prowl are incredible, you will want to make one, too! The film is about art, who is making it, the movement, the creative process, the organizing & promoting of a festival and it is all juxtaposed into one fast, fun gumbo, visually delightful and sonically pleasing and uber cool. Get on it! See more Jun 30, 2012 Very creative concept of providing a blank canvas to other artists, Ethan showed dedication in making so many dolls. Great film showing how each artists applies their own vision onto the dolls, or sometimes creates something different with them. Nice to see artists taking the time while showing in another country to reach out to kids and spark artistic minds.

The Antagonist Movemente did it by simply congregating different people with the urge to create, giving them a challenge. And trough their challenge it became clear that it's not the frontiers that really differentiate people, specially artists, but their unique personality, that leads them to work. Theirs is the first push that can lead to many different results, and the struggle to create a record of what and how it happened. For the all the steps to the final exhibition are accomplishments in themselves, and it's only a pity that there's no possibility of seeing more of each one of them. See more May 22, 2012 Radical concepts applied to art by separating the elements of the market out. The Dolls Of Lisbon is our attempt at creating a new underground cinema wave and to inspire you the viewer to chase your dreams even if that means you will suffer for them. If you are looking for a film about famous rich people who indulge in a hobby look else where. This is for the unknown, the talented and forgotten. See more Read all reviews
