Two men escape from prison to search for buried treasure and get caught up in a web of greed and betrayal. A classic myth twisted into a suspenseful and deftly sarcastic tale set against the bizarre social structures of the south.

Made in Wilmington, NC, The Grave screened in Thalian Hall at the 1996 Cucalorus Film Festival. Jonas Pate, himself, is a Wilmingtonian.

While searching for Nazi documents in an Austrian farmhouse, a team of experts uncovers a hidden secret buried in its bowels. American expatriate Gunner S.

The filmmakers, Johannes Grenzfurthner and Jasmin Hagendorfer, will be in attendance for the screening. They may or may not be the Ambassadors of Soviet Unterzoegersdorf who attended Cucalorus 30, but you'll have to find out yourself!
