“A Surrealist Love Letter To The ’90s Indie Titans.” – Matthew Turner, NME (UK)
Mark Ibold & Scott “Spiral Stairs“ Kannberg IN PERSON!
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.
Starring as themselves, Stephen Malkmus. Scott “Spiral Stairs” Kannbera. Mark Ibold, Steve West, & Bob Nastanovich, plus Joe Keery, Jason Schwartzman, Nat Wolff, Fred Hechinger, Logan Miller, Griffin Newman, Tim Heidecker, Michael Esper, Zoe Lister-Jones and Kathryn Gallagher.
