ABOUT THE FILM

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. The latest film from acclaimed director Alex Ross Perry (Her Smell) and anchored by Pavement’s slacker-sage-sphinx, Stephen Malkmus, the film features performances by Joe Keery, Jason Schwartzman, Tim Heidecker, Kathryn Gallagher, Michael Esper and Zoe Lister-Jones, and editing by nonfiction innovator Robert Greene (Procession).
