OBSESSED WITH LIGHT pulls back the curtain on Loïe Fuller (1862-1928), a wildly original performer who pioneered modern dance though combining fabric and movement to develop a completely new kind of spectacle. Creating a dialogue between the past and the present, filmmakers Sabine Krayenbuhle and Zeva Oelbaum delve into the astonishing influence Fuller's work has had on contemporary culture including artists like Taylor Swift, Bill T. Jones, Shakira, William Kentridge, and the Red Hot Chili Peppers, among many others. "A rich tapestry of discoveries by a passionately devoted mover and transformer of light and shape," (Eye On Dance) OBSESSED WITH LIGHT is a close study of a woman who became famous on her own terms -- unapologetic about her body type, open about her sexuality, and protective of her signature, often mimicked, style.
