Institute History
Description
"Art has that beautiful quality of transforming ultimate pain and suffering into beauty and glory," says Jackie Seiden, 83, an artist and retired educator in Chicago. Despite aches and painful memories, Jackie lives her life at full throttle, putting as much feeling as possible into everything she does. Queen of the Battling Butterfly Brigade brings us into Jackie's world at a moment when uncertainty bears down on the present, with the things most important to Jackie—her painstakingly decorated home, her up-and-down 50-year marriage, and most importantly, her ability to make art-hanging in the balance.

As you use our Online Archives, please understand that the information presented from Festivals, Labs, and other activities is taken directly from official publications from each year. While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications. Each entry in the Online Archives is meant as a historical record of a particular film, play, or project at the time of its involvement with Sundance Institute. For this reason, we can only amend an entry if a name is misspelled, or if the entry does not correctly reflect the original publication.
