Saturday Cinema: Roadside Attractions

Over just a few days, grills across the United States will dance with flames, bread aisles will reveal barren shelves where buns once stood, and handheld sparklers will light in a nod to the great show of fireworks across our nation’s skies. Inspired by Welcome to WildCard’s foray into roadside attractions and timed to celebrate our most patriotic holiday, we’ll take a look at some of the weird and wonderful places and people spanning the nation. From joyful home movies that offer a nostalgic glimpse at lost landscapes to the innovative uses and reuses of cityscapes, each of these works pauses to glimpse the unexpected and unpredictable places that surround us.
