Packed In A Trunk: The Lost Art of Edith Lake Wilkinson (2015): Cast

This documentary explores the life and lost legacy of artist Edith Lake Wilkinson, who was committed to an asylum in 1924 and seemingly disappeared. Her belongings, including a collection of paintings, were packed into trunks and stored in a West Virginia attic for four decades. Edith’s great-niece, filmmaker Jane Anderson, grew up immersed in these paintings thanks to her mother’s discovery of the forgotten collection. The film follows Jane’s quest to unravel the mystery behind Edith’s institutionalization and to finally bring her artwork and contributions to the attention of the art world.
