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.
