Irish Film Institute -THE BIGGER PICTURE: THE NOWHERE INN

THE BIGGER PICTURE: THE NOWHERE INN

Annie Clark, better known as St. Vincent, and Carrie Brownstein, familiar to some as a founding member of the mighty Sleater-Kinney and to others as co-creator of Portlandia, write, produce and star in a comic mockumentary determined to subvert all notions of the glitz and glamour of rock ‘n’ roll. Brownstein plays the director hired to film behind-the-scenes footage on the musician’s tour only to discover the disconnect between the dominant persona St. Vincent exhibits onstage and the mundane life of Scrabble-loving Annie Clark offstage. As Brownstein encourages Clark to embrace her inner diva, the personal and professional relationship between the two descends into chaos.

The screening will be introduced by Sarah Corcoran of Pillow Queens.
