"Pop Music as Prismatic Utopia" is a program highlighting avant-garde films that show a deep appreciation for pop music qua pop music. These films use pop songs as conduits to reveal and expand aspects of personal identity, to capture the spirit of specific people and places, and to embody something universal about the human experience.
