World Premiere
The Kings of Christmas
| USA | 10 MINUTES | EnglishDocumentary
The flashy yet underground outer borough phenomenon of elaborate, ornate Christmas exterior house decorations is given a human face in this documentary short. You’ll meet the obsessed, quirky people behind the biggest, brightest, and most over-the-top holiday decorated houses in New York City, including Steve Pancini who owns 600 animated dolls for his lawn and takes an entire month off from work to maintain his display. These are tales of outer Gotham that Manhattanites have yet to see.
