“Velvet Vision…” and its subject, the Groundbreaking Filmmaker and Photographer, James Bidgood

“His fantastical art became both refuge and rebellion-a vivid counterpoint to the societal rejection he endured as a queer outsider.

“This is not just a documentary about an artist; it’s about the cost of beauty, the endurance of vision, and the creative madness that sustains it.

“Honest, defiant, and deeply human, Velvet Vision doesn’t reinvent the documentary form-but what it captures is powerful: the unfiltered story of a trailblazer whose erotic dreamscapes still pulse with relevance and resonance today.”


“Velvet Vision” is in festivals worldwide. Check out the screenings page here for the latest additions.
