	In the Realms of the Unreal Documentary by Jessica Yu United States, 2004 (81 min.) Dedicated festival attendees may remember Yu's short film Sour Death Balls.

His landlords discovered his 15,000 page opus, In the Realms of the Unreal, its 8,000 page unfinished sequel, and an unfinished autobiography. Darger's illustrated novel is set in a tempestuous world where innocence struggles with evil, and the goodness and courage of the Vivian Girls manage, barely, to win out.

Then, almost before they know it, they are living and breathing ballroom -- and they want to win.
