The Art Star and the Sudanese Twins

LA Times Sundance Film Festival award-winning documentary the art star and the sudanese twins follows popstar of the art world Vanessa Beecroft's intentions to Sudanese adopt orphaned twins. But as New York gallerist Jeffrey Deitch states, with Vanessa there is no boundary between life and art. Alongside the adoption process she photographs herself breast-feeding the twins, provocative work at $50,000 a print.

Like Angelina and Madonna, Vanessa is a white westerner intent on 'rescuing' third world babies. But at what cost to her personal life? (texte officiel du distributeur)
