This charming, intimate documentary follows a group of young Deadheads who are driving across the country to catch every show of Dead & Company’s 2023 goodbye tour. Directed by Provincetown native and self-proclaimed Deadhead Mischa Richter, SUMMER TOUR offers a surprisingly complex and nuanced portrait of this music-loving nomadic commune, defying stereotypes and offering real insight into the appeal of their way of life. Shot in 16mm and echoing the Dead’s surprising, unconventional sense of form in the edit, the filmmaker’s affection for and understanding of this ragtag group of devotees is present in every frame. Produced by Chloë Sevigny.
Director Mischa Richter. producer Chloë Sevigny and editor Jay Rabinowitz are scheduled to attend.
Mason’s Children will be playing a free concert after the screening at 6:30pm at Pilgrim Monument and Provincetown Museum, 1 High Pole Hill Road.
