About

See a special presentation of Sydney Cash Makes Too Much Art, followed by an in-person conversation with filmmaker Ivan Cash and subject Sydney Cash. What is the cost of a life devoted to art? Sydney Cash is an 80-year-old artist who can’t stop making art. When space runs out and time grows short, his family faces an urgent dilemma and must decide what happens to a lifetime of creation. Will Sydney Cash’s art end up in a gallery, a dumpster, or somewhere in between? Turning the camera on his father, Sydney’s son Ivan reckons with the legacy, inheritance, and emotional cost of a life devoted to making, and its impact on their family.
