Documentary by Robin McKenna about gift-based cultures, inspired by the Lewis Hyde book 'The Gift: Creativity and the Artist in the Modern World.'
Artistic aptitude as a blessing bestowed by destiny upon creators and meant for sharing with others without remuneration beyond spiritual fulfillment is the ruling concept in Robin McKenna’s handsomely assembled documentary “Gift.”this esoteric nonfiction piece advocates for a utopian and radically humanistic worldview that rejects the shackles capitalism has imposed on art.
McKenna’s sampler platter of individuals selflessly donating their attributes for the collective enrichment range from the most functionally noble, namely Rome’s Metropoliz inhabited museum housing refugees and displaced people, to the hipster transcendence of. Florid narration only obscures its meaning further, as one gathers fragments of its multidirectional messaging.
There’s an imbalance in gravitas between segments contemplating the conscious appropriation of spaces and a Native American man’s preparation for a ritualistic parting with material goods known as potlatch, while others border on frivolity, following a mechanical bee in the desert and an exhibit that concludes with flowers changing hands.
