StockID: 160069 SKU: 0825DQ0575
An absurdist comic strip satire of cinephilia in the attention economy A specter is haunting the cinema. A contrarian crew of small town theatre employees trade quips about directors- film criticism- and contemporary moviegoing- but underneath their banter and clashes with customers- an ideology begins to take shape. With the help of a dissatisfied cinephile and some witchy magic- the employees radicalize- take over the theatre- and seize the means of projection. What starts out as a workplace comedy simmers and then explodes into an absurdist cinema-focused tract. Cartoonist Nathan Gelgud both champions and lampoons the aspirations and failures of cinema and not a single sacred cinematic cow goes un-punched in this manifesto for revolution through film.
