This screening will be preceded by a performance from local indie folk outfit, Migrant Birds. 

Christopher Guest, director of Best in Show and Waiting for Guffman, turns his focus on the story of three eclectic, never-quite-famous folk bands who come together for the first time in decades following the death of their manager to put on an reunion concert in his honor, at the request of his son. Reuniting not only his usual company, including all-stars Eugene Levy, Catherine O’Hara, Jane Lynch and Fred Willard, the actors behind This is Spinal Tap (Guest, Michael McKean, Harry Shearer) join up as a new group, The Folksmen.

“The matter-of-fact absurdity… is a hallmark of Mr. Guest and Mr. Levy’s improvisatory comic style. Their jokes are sometimes so subtle as to seem imperceptible, until you realize that they are everywhere, from the broadest gestures to the tiniest details of dress and décor.” ~ A.O. Scott, The New York Times
