Featuring a Q&A with director/star Adam Weiner moderated by Tom Erlewine (Pitchfork, The AV Club) followed by a special performance by Adam.
In the tradition of art-world documentaries like STOP MAKING SENSE and AMERICAN MOVIE, ART DEALERS follows eccentric rock-n-roll artist Adam Weiner, aka Low Cut Connie, and his band as they attempt to mount a concert production of their recently released album “Art Dealers” for a three-night run in NYC. The stunning high-intensity performances are laid against a backdrop of five years of footage that shows an artist plagued by bad luck, but who attacks each performance with humor and stagecraft.
