PFF Presents: Decorado

Running time 95 mins Director: Alberto Vazquez 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.

Following the film there will be a discussion about the film and other animated feature films with critic and author, Nick Spake. Our Lead Critic, Jeff Mitchell will moderate. Nick will have copies of his book available for purchase and be signing them after the film. You can find out more about Nick's books here.(opens in a new tab)
