SCRABYLON

Facets Multi-Media, 1517 W. Fullerton, Chicago

Scrabylon, a documentary on the cutthroat world of tournament Scrabble, is the latest film to screen in the IFP/Chicago-Facets 'Meet the Filmmaker' Series. Featuring the most fierce anagrammers, rack balancers, and bingo experts in competitive Scrabble, Scrabylon delves deep into this sometimes wacky,  sometimes odd, always compelling subculture. Shot primarily during the 2001 World Scrabble Championships in Las Vegas, Scrabylon features players from around the globe and gives an up-close look at why people get so obsessed with that seemingly benign game played at countless kitchen tables.
