This Is Not A Fiction Film Festival

Schedule of Events:

7:00 PM: PAVEMENTS

An examination of the iconic 90s indie band, 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.

10:00 PM: Two By Radu Jude: EIGHT POSTCARDS FROM UTOPIA / SLEEP #2

EIGHT POSTCARDS FROM UTOPIA, 2024, Dirs. Christian Ferencz-Flatz and Radu Jude, 72 Mins, Romania

EIGHT POSTCARDS FROM UTOPIA is a found-footage documentary assembled exclusively out of post-socialist Romanian advertisements. In bringing together these documents of Romania’s long transition period, they are made to speak about life, love and death, about the body and human frailty, about nature and the supernatural, about gender, about recent history, and, of course, about socialism and capitalism. A film between found poetry and an outdated encyclopaedia, between trash art, The Human Comedy and Summa theologiae. Made by Radu Jude and Christian Ferencz-Flatz.

FORMAT: DCP

SLEEP #2, 2024, Dir. Radu Jude, 62 Mins, Romania

“For one year I recorded on my laptop the images taken by the webcam placed in front of Andy Warhol’s grave in the Pittsburgh cemetery. Then I edited this in a film I see as a dialogue-hommage with Warhol’s movie SLEEP (1964) (last year marked the 60th anniversary of this legendary film). I titled it SLEEP #2.” – Radu Jude
