Description: A reception for the filmmaker will be held beforehand at 6 p.m.Recipient of a MacArthur Award and many other accolades, Trimpin, who uses only his last name, combines music-making machines and kinetic sculpture with homegrown computer technology. Working six days a week, 12 hours a day, he has no use for galleries and agents, and has neither website nor cell phone -- in fact, he agreed to be the subject of this documentary only reluctantly. The film highlights Trimpin's moments of discovery, relentless problem solving, and eccentric decision making. What results is an amusing, kinetic exploration of a creative genius in perpetual motion.
