Don't miss a special screening of “God’s Architects” and an  opportunity to meet artists from the recently extended show, Eleven Visionaries and One Submarine!

gallery F. at Scarritt Bennett will offer a special opportunity for art fans to experience the work of two groups of visionary artists in one night. On Jan. 22, the gallery will host a special screening of “God’s Architects, a documentary about visionary artists/architects by Zack Godshall, along with a meet and greet with the artists of the recently extended art show, Eleven Visionaries and One Submarine. Eleven Visionaries and One Submarine, originally scheduled to end in late January, will now run through Feb. 19. Both events are free and open to all.

“God's Architects” is a documentary that tells the stories of five divinely inspired artist-architects and their enigmatic creations. The film details how and why these oft-marginalized creators, with neither funding nor blueprints, construct their self-made environments.

In November 2005, Godshall set out from south Louisiana with a camera, tripod and microphone to interview and document the work of Floyd Banks Jr., a divinely inspired castle builder living in the east Tennessee hill country. Three years later, Godshall completed a feature-length film that both examines and celebrates the work of Banks along with four other solitary builders who have constructed similar monuments. Beyond the builders and their work, the film functions as a personal essay that explores the nature of inspiration and one's dedication to a creative project, no matter how absurd or mysterious the circumstances may seem.
