The Band's Visit

The Alexandria Ceremonial Police Band takes the wrong bus and ends up in a small town in the desert.

They interact with the residents of the town and learn something about each other and themselves.

This very touching and funny film was one of the standouts for me at this festival.

Great performances all around.
