In the Bathtub of the World

Actor, artist, and filmmaker Caveh Zahedi decided to keep a video diary for the year 1999, recording one minute of his life each day from January 1st through December 31st; eventually, he edited his record of the year down to a tidy 79 minutes, and In the Bathtub of the World is the result.

Zahedi shares his inner thoughts (and a number of private moments), as well as glimpses of his work and his encounters with a number of other creative people, including musicians Jonathan Richman and David Byrne, writers John Ashbery and Czeslaw Milosz, and filmmaker Jay Rosenblatt.
