Knightriders

A medieval reenactment troupe find it increasingly difficult to keep their family-like group together, with pressure from local law enforcement, interest from entertainment agents and a growing sense of delusion from their leader.

Knightriders was submitted to the Reflections 

film series by local musician and game designer 

Steph Beck Fey of Garlic Bread & Roses

After the film, Steph will lead a panel discussion along with Tacoma Mutual Aid Collective organizer Zee Grieder, American Federation of Teachers Washington organizer Gillian Reese, and local game designer River Adams. In addition to geeking out over the epic Motorcycle jousts, their panel will be asking some very important questions about community organizing and collaborative art:

• How do you stay afloat financially without compromising your shared values? 
• How do you decide what your shared values even are? 
• Do you make decisions through rigid processes or more informally? 
• At what point does community leadership become a cult of personality? 
• What kind of external pressure are you prepared to deal with? 
• What kinds of solidarity and instability does having a community of outsiders inherently create? 

Join them to discuss how Knightriders addresses those struggles that we encounter as artists and as organizers.
