WORLD PREMIERE The sight of rogue Santas gallivanting through the streets has become an NYC winter staple. While the revelry can feel like just a drunken lark, the origins of the festivities lie in something far more absurd. Born in the Bay Area from the same minds as Burning Man, Santacon grew from zany capitalist commentary to a seasonal sensation. Featuring interviews with its creators, these Santa shenanigans give an irreverent twist to the Christmas season. - Brandon Harrison

The first and second screenings will be followed by a Q&A with director/producer Seth Porges and film participants John Law, Rob Schmitt, Marci Macfarlane.

All in-person screening venues provide sound amplification headphones upon request with venue management. IFC Center can also provide a T-Coil loop for compatible devices.
