Listen "SantaCon w/ Director Seth Porges"
Episode Synopsis
Before SantaCon became the most hated event in NYC history, it began as a San Francisco subversive experiment of fun by the same anarchic collective that spawned Burning Man and inspired Fight Club’s Project Mayhem.
We talk to filmmaker Seth Porges, who has a new documentary about SanCon on how a subversive performance-art happening turned
into a worldwide holiday of drunken chaos that’s now belittled by the likes of John Oliver, Colin Jost, Jimmy Fallon and all of
NYC.
You might know Seth’s previous HBO Max documentary, Class Action Park, about America’s most dangerous amusement park.
SantaCon premieres at DocNYC, Nov 13th
