This is a One-Night-Only screening with a post-film Q&A with the filmmakers. Please note this is a new cut of the film. In resurgent Phoenixville, PA, a tight-knit community gathers each December to ignite a new, giant wooden phoenix, fueling the passions of local artists and rekindling a unifying, pre-rust belt spirit.
Through intimate interviews, painfully relatable video calls, and fly-on-the-wall vérité, Firebird: Built to Burn chronicles the efforts of a diverse group of volunteers who persevere through pandemic restrictions, local government negotiations, and months of arduous construction to orchestrate the return of the cathartic annual festival following its 2020 cancellation.
A wholesome look into an uplifting, unconventional tradition and its folklore origins.
