“Buoyant” is a charming experimental documentary which interweaves the stories of the Padded Lilies – a troupe of fat synchronized swimmers – and Archimedes – the Greek mathematician obsessed with floating bodies and inventor of the “Drystroke Swimulator.” It leaves us with the exuberant possibility of a fat body that literally and culturally rises, like cream, to the top. Please note: “Buoyant” can also be presented with live musical accompaniment. Contact the CFMDC for more information.
