The Python Hunt (2026)

1h 31m / Not Rated / Documentary
TRAILER:
This screening is held in the Taylor Screening Room. Seating is limited; it is recommended to purchase tickets ahead of time.
***********************************
The Python Hunt follows a group of hunters over ten nights confronting dangerous terrain, nocturnal creatures, and their own desires, during an invasive python removal contest in the Florida Everglades.
“The Python Hunt gifts us a cast of real-life characters that at times feel like they’ve crossed over from a reel of Spring Breakers or The Beach Bum. Throughout, director Xander Robin demonstrates a gift for storytelling as strong as that of the rugged but self-reflective real-life travel writer in which The Python Hunt finds its poetic heart. The result is perhaps the strangest and most entertaining contest-centered doc since the likes of The King of Kong and Hands on a Hard Body.” – Eric Allen Hatch, New Next Film Fest
Guests are invited to join us on Thursday, June 18 and Friday, June 19 for a post-film Q&A with the film’s director and producer Xander Robin, as well as some very special guests!
