Details:
The American Dream has been a big part of American cinema since the beginning. This month, we dive into two early 70s films. One that looks back, in musical form, on the creation of that dream…and another that looks into whether the American dream is actually attainable.
Outside food and drinks are not allowed, but feel free to bring a water bottle—there’s a refill station conveniently located near the auditorium.
