Free Talk: Alex Ross Perry & Andrei Ujică
Join Pavements director Alex Ross Perry and TWST / Things We Said Today director Andrei Ujică for a wide-ranging conversation about musical fandoms across generations, cultural memory and mythmaking, and how experiments with documentary cinema can produce new ways of understanding archival materials and affective histories.
This free Talk will take place on Thursday, October 3 at 6:00pm in the EBM Amphitheater.
The familiar forms and conventions of the music documentary are breezily dispensed with in two singular, bracingly inventive selections from this year’s Spotlight section. Pavements, Alex Ross Perry’s shape-shifting account of 1990s indie rock fixture Pavement, takes a cheeky and formally audacious approach to narrating their artistic legacy and pop-cultural footprint, while TWST / Things We Said Today is an obliquely melancholic and surprisingly tender inquiry into the icons and textures of 1960s Beatlemania from veteran nonfiction auteur Andrei Ujică. We’re excited to bring together Ross Perry and Ujică for a wide-ranging conversation about musical fandoms across generations, cultural memory and mythmaking, and how experiments with documentary cinema can produce new ways of understanding archival materials and affective histories. Moderated by writer and editor Vikram Murthi.
