Synopsis: An endearingly lo-fi, handmade time capsule of late ‘90s collector culture, Vinyl highlights the last gasp of analog filmmaking and collecting, in the face of an existential digital threat. Through conversations with dozens of devoted record collectors, this cult classic offers an unblinking and amusing look at collectors in crisis, exploring the personal struggles that lead to collecting, the negative ways it impacts some, and the essential joy it brings to others, helping them achieve a sense of meaning, purpose, and comfort. The first feature-length documentary from one-of-a-kind filmmaker Alan Zweig, Vinyl introduced his trademark idiosyncrasies and confessional approach fully formed. Resisting traditional notions of likability, he reveals as much about himself as he does about his subjects, which include a mix of everyday vinyl devotees alongside cultural figures like Bruce LaBruce, Guy Maddin, Don McKellar, and Harvey Pekar. But even as Zweig reckons with the debilitating side of collecting, he reveals his own deep commitment to the subject with an honesty that will resonate with collectors and non-collectors alike.
