synopsis

Featuring Ted Leo, Ian Anderson (Jethro Tull), D.A. Pennebaker and more. Haunted by uncanny similarities between Nazi stage techniques and the showmanship employed by modern entertainers, a filmmaker investigates the dangers of audience manipulation and leader worship. Documentary filmmaker Aidan Prewett meets with various performers and masters of concert orchestration. A Venue for the End of the World also unearths some powerful antidotes to the herd mentality by rediscovering the protest era and investigating some of the largest crowds ever assembled. In A Venue for the End of The World, we discover that the search for truth is a cause for unexpected humor, and uncover a world where performers’ insecurities may actually work in their favor.
