Hi reddit, I'm Director Seth Porges. My newest documentary, SANTACON, is about the origin story of the world's most hated holiday, SantaCon! It is premiering at DOC NYC on November 13th. Ask me anything!
Synopsis:
They built Burning Man. They inspired Fight Club. Then they created Santacon… and totally lost control of it as an anarchy-fueled 1990s prank transformed into a drunken, violent shitshow; and the world's most hated holiday.
Here's our trailer:
———————————
Today, Santacon is known as perhaps the single most hated event on the planet. A dreaded day in which tens of thousands of drunk idiots dress like Santa and invade countless cities around the world to live out their drunkest and most violent instincts.
But it began as something else entirely: A piece of Dada street theater designed to shock people out of their everyday existence by creating a sense of awe and confusion.
The folks who started Santacon in the ‘90s are the same people who started Burning Man (and also lost control of that as the culture took hold of it) and who served as the real-life inspiration for Fight Club and Project Mayhem. And today, they want nothing to do with their Christmas creation.
Welcome to SANTACON: An immersive documentary about how great ideas can transform into something sinister–and what it's like to accept and live in a world you no longer understand.
Told with exclusive access to the event's original creators and with countless hours of never-before-seen home movies from the ‘90s, you’ll be transported back in time to a world of awe, wonder, and endless possibility.
