Join us for a special presentation of Decorado. You don’t want to miss this darkly satirical fable by director Alberto Vázquez, best known for his uniquely surreal visual storytelling and instantly recognizable animal character design. Stick around after the screening for a post-screening discussion with critic and author, Nick Spake! He (literally) wrote the book(s) on animation and award shows! Jeff Mitchell, Lead PFF Critic, will be joining him to moderate.
Directed by: Alberto Vázquez
Synopsis: Something is wrong in the city of Anywhere. Arnold, an unemployed middle-aged mouse, confides to his wife Maria that he suspects his entire world is nothing more than a set, and his life a scripted performance. When his best friend Ramiro dies under mysterious circumstances, he traces the conspiracy to a monolithic corporation whose influence reaches every corner of their daily lives.
Adapted from the acclaimed 2016 short film by director Alberto Vázquez (Birdboy: The Forgotten Children, Unicorn Wars), Decorado blends biting humor with haunting beauty in a darkly comedic odyssey through our era of social control, manufactured realities, and the quest for authentic human connection.
