Pavements

description

An examination of the iconic 90s indie band Pavement, PAVEMENTS appears to be just another music documentary, until it doesn't.

A prismatic, narrative, scripted, documentary, musical, metatextual hybrid, the film intimately shows the band preparing for their sold-out 2022 reunion tour while simultaneously tracking the preparations for a musical based on their songs, a museum devoted to their history and a big-budget Hollywood biopic inspired by their saga as the most important band of a generation. From mult-CUFF alumnus Alex Ross Perry (THE COLOR WHEEL, HER SMELL),
