They are chronicled in Charlie Paul’s documentary about Mr. Steadman, “For No Good Reason,” which screened this week at the festival.

In conjunction with the documentary, the festival is holding a gallery exhibition of Mr. Steadman’s work. In this video, Mr. Steadman relfects on how he creates his work, including images from pieces on display in the gallery.
