| SECRET, the documentary |
 Director/Editor
Kathy Corley adapted from the stage production workshop written and
directed by Paul Guzzardo Film Synopsis SECRET, the documentary, is
a film adaptation of a 2005 multimedia performance art workshop collaboration
of media artists, rap singer/DJs and actors from St. Louis, the birthplace
of Josephine Baker. The various media incarnations of SECRET range from
public art wall projections to interactive media gallery work that will
be produced in locations throughout the world through 2006 in celebration
of the 100th anniversary of Josephine Baker's birth. Drawn from over
a thousand FBI files and archival material, SECRET tells the story of
St. Louis born entertainer Josephine Baker and two men who pursued her:
media personality Walter Winchell and FBI director J. Edgar Hoover.
Mixing old and new sound and images to link the present and past, SECRET
uncovers Baker's little known identity as a global human rights activist.
