Stars: Dave Elliot , Chantal Claret, Stian Nilson, Celeste Octavia, Brett Berg, Quentin Crisp

Director:

AMERICAN MOD is a stylish, affectionate look at the NEW YORK subculture of MODS. The film highlights the clothes, the music, the scooters and club scene of a lifestyle which originated in England in the '60s, but is alive and well in contemporary New York. Using a positive narrative about the value of friendship, AMERICAN MOD is cast from the actual scene which inspired the film. From the first frame to the last, a visual treat...
