OPENS OCTOBER 10 – In Select Theatres
Produced by Oscar® winner Sofia Coppola (Writing, Original Screenplay, Lost in Translation, 2003) and based on the acclaimed memoir of the same name by Alysia Abbott, Fairyland is a coming-of-age story set against the backdrop of San Francisco’s vibrant cultural scene in the 1970s and ‘80s. This captivating film chronicles a father and daughter relationship as it evolves through an era of bohemian decadence to the sober and heartbreaking era of the AIDS crisis. Drawing on one family’s real-life experiences, the powerfully acted Fairyland pays poignant tribute to love and resilience in the face of adversity and tragedy. Fairyland is the little film that could, and Durham the perfect conductor to transport us across three decades of San Francisco’s queer history, never losing steam, intention, or, most importantly, heart.
