Before SantaCon became the most hated event in NYC history, it began as a San Francisco subversive experiment of fun by the same anarchic collective that spawned Burning Man and inspired Fight Club’s Project Mayhem.
We talk to filmmaker Seth Porges, who has a new documentary about SanCon on how a subversive performance-art happening turned

You might know Seth’s previous HBO Max documentary, Class Action Park, about America’s most dangerous amusement park.
SantaCon premieres at DocNYC, Nov 13th
