Pavements
15

Fri 11 Jul – Thu 17 Jul
An irreverent, genre-bending portrait of the iconic '90s indie rock band Pavement.
Biographical • Funny • Off-beat

Pavements blends authentic archival footage, contemporary documentary moments, an ironic jukebox musical, a satirical Hollywood biopic, and playful mockumentary sequences, brilliantly collapsing the boundaries between reality and fiction.

As Pavement prepare for their sold-out 2022 reunion tour, the film captures surreal behind-the-scenes preparations for a musical adaptation of their songs, a museum dedicated entirely to the band's legacy, and a knowingly clichéd Hollywood biopic starring Joe Keery as frontman Stephen Malkmus.

Interwoven with genuine archival footage and featuring the band members themselves alongside a cast of actors and comedians, Pavements humorously examines fan obsession, myth-making, and the cultural mechanics behind fame. This uniquely layered exploration challenges the traditional way stories about musicians are told with artistry, absurdity and humour, culminating in a refreshingly inventive and endearingly self-aware tribute to an unforgettable band.

Showing in partnership with friends at our local independent record store Jumbo Records. You can buy Pavement records from them here.
