VTIFF’s Monthly Screening: The People’s Joker
Thursday, May 9
Main Street Landing, Film House
Strictly as a legal undertaking, The People’s Joker is fascinating just for the fact of its existence – IndieWire accurately calls it “one of the most impressive and subversive stretches of fair use law ever put to film.” Writer/director/star Vera Drew adapts and deeply subverts the famous DC Comics villain, taking shots at all variety of trademarked superheroes…and gets away with it.
Bushman

The Screening Room @VTIFF
Using a docu-fictional style reminiscent of Cassavetes’ Shadows, the film observes the foibles of late 1960s African-American culture with an outsider’s incisive eye.
Chameleon Street

The Screening Room @VTIFF
Wendell B. Harris wrote, directed and starred in this edgy, hilarious deep-dive into the mind of a brilliant African-American, William Douglas Street, a man who seeks to adopt any identity – baseball player, journalist, Harvard grad student, even surgeon – other than his own.
