The Q&Agency and American Cinema Editors are proud to announce a free virtual screening and Q&A on "The Singers" (2025, 18 mins).

About "The Singers": "The Singers" is a short film adaptation of a 19th-century short story written by Ivan Turgenev, in which a lowly pub full of downtrodden patrons connect unexpectedly through an impromptu sing-off.

With a cast comprised of viral video singing talents and other one-of-a-kind personalities from the unlikeliest corners of the internet, the film is a love letter to underdogs and a testament to the power of vulnerability through art. (Synopsis by Netflix)
