POMP & CIRCUMSTANCEdirected by Adrian Anderson & Patrick Gray
This freewheeling, episodic lo-fi comedy pays tribute to youthful ennui in a world where originality feels elusive. In Burlington, Vermont, three soon-to-be-graduates - Charlie, an unconventional romantic, Thomas, an obsessed poet, and Marie, a budding documentarian become entangled in an absurd plot involving their professor, running for mayor.
Shot entirely on 16mm film, this debut serves as a loving but sarcastic homage to 60s underground cinema and 90s Indies.
Q&A with Nick Newman to follow program expected to run 92 minutes
