The Masturbator - The Adventures of Edgar Hilsenrath (2026)

Edgar Hilsenrath broke new ground by confronting trauma head-on with darkly grotesque humor and fearless laughter. Blending animation with archival historical footage, the film traces the alter ego from his novel Fuck America—a broke, lust-driven writer in 1950s New York who is frantic to publish his ghetto recollections under the title The Masturbator.
