Gracious Fanatics (2005)

About the Film

Folklorist Tom Mould explores the phenomenon of the kiln opening, when potters sell to collectors the products of a recently fired kiln. some of these avid collectors camp out the night before for the opportunity to get the first choice of the pots. Collectors swap stories and strategies, all the while figuring out ways to outsmart their competition.
