Permanent Vacation is a 1980 film directed, written and produced by Jim Jarmusch. It was the directors first release, and was shot on 16 mm film shortly after he dropped out of film school. This film is often credited as the birth of the directors original style and character schemes. The film won the Josef von Sternberg Award at the 1980 Mannheim-Heidelberg International Filmfestival.

In downtown Manhattan, a twenty-something boy whose Father is not around and whose Mother is institutionalized, is a big Charlie Parker fan. He almost subconsciously searches for more meaning in his life and meets a few characters along the way.
