Santacon

In attendance for a special post-film Q&A will be original Santas John Law and Rob Schmitt, as well as other surprise guests.

Today, Santacon is known as perhaps the single most hated event on the planet. A dreaded day in which tens of thousands of drunk idiots dress like Santa and invade countless cities around the world to live out their drunkest and most violent instincts.

But it began as something else entirely: A piece of absurdism designed to shock people out of their everyday existence by creating a sense of awe and confusion.

Born from the San Francisco underground, the folks who started Santacon in the ’90s are the same people who started Burning Man and who served as the real-life inspiration for Fight Club and Project Mayhem. And today, they want nothing to do with their Christmas creation.

Join us for a special screening of SANTACON, a new documentary from director Seth Porges (Class Action Park). Told with exclusive access to the event’s original creators and with countless hours of never-before-seen home movies from the 1990s, you’ll be transported back in time to a world of awe, wonder, and endless possibility.

All Santas are invited to attend in costume.
