The legendary British artist and champion of misfits Andrew Logan takes the audience on an eye-opening trip through the glamorous and at times outrageous world of his costume pageant: the Alternative Miss World Show. As its master of ceremonies, Logan reveals the history of the Show’s 40-year run, the archive footage complemented by the animation that director Jes Benstock applies. He describes the Show as his most important artwork; a fabulous living sculpture that spans four decades of arts and culture. THE BRITISH GUIDE TO SHOWING OFF is a heartfelt and humorous documentary that puts one man’s uncompromised passion centre stage.
