Jumbo Records & Hyde Park Picture House Present:
Pavements
An irreverent, genre-bending portrait of the iconic '90s indie rock band Pavement.
Screening Dates
Friday 11th July
Saturday 12th July
Sunday 13th July
Tuesday 15th July
Wednesday 16th July
Thursday 17th July
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 cliched 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.
