The Plagiarists
No upcoming showtimes scheduled.
Director: Peter Parlow
2019 / 76min / DCP
A deadpan auto-critique of the clichés of a soppily sincere American “indie” film, distinctively shot on a vintage television news camera and co-written by Wilkins and Robin Schavoir, The Plagiarists, a playful, provocative satire, depicts a heartwarming encounter between a young white couple, a writer (Lucy Kaminsky) and cinematographer (Eamon Monaghan), and a warm, world-wise older Black man (Michael “Clip” Payne of Parliament-Funkadelic) that, in light of later revelations, might not have been so heartwarming after all. “A hilarious and slyly withering appraisal of our contemporary creative economy.” —Film Comment
Introduction and post-screening Q+A with James N. Kienitz Wilkins & Robin Schavoir, moderated by David Levine, on Sunday, August 4th
