BAKED BABY JESUS
by mike diana, 1990

Catalog Number: FTF-170
Length: 151 minutes

Infamous for his arrest, trial and conviction - in the 1990s for his self-published comic, artist Mike Diana also made a string of homemade films. Starting with 8mm in the early

'80s and graduating to video, Diana enlisted his own family and neighborhood kids in an array of bizarre, gross, and hilarious movies, to varied levels of completion.

1990's Baked Baby Jesus is a loud, unapologetic shot-on-video revolt against the downfall of American society. As if it was designed to be seen by Diana's enemies instead of his peers, the shorts marry together real abortion rally footage, a necrophiliac love story, and perhaps the most infamous sequence of all, a tour of the infant-only cemetery Babyland.

Originally traded through the mail, the film has only been available directly through Mike Diana himself.

Factory 25 has gone back to the original video sources and provided higher quality than ever before possible (previous versions had primitive sound dubbing and editing) and has overseen the reconstruction of several otherwise lost short films, some completed here for the first time.
