Art House Theater Day: Network (1976) 4k Restoration

Mark your calendars: July 30th is Art House Theater Day! The Moxie will be celebrating with a 50th anniversary new 4K restoration screening of Sidney Lumet's scathing satire NETWORK (1976) - screening Thursday, July 30th at 7pm. Tickets on sale now.
AHTD is an annual program of @arthouseconvergence that brings audiences together to celebrate all that art house theaters - and independent film - contribute to our cultural landscape: ambitious and innovative art that provokes, challenges, entertains, and inspires.
This media satire, directed by Sidney Lumet from a brilliantly incisive script by Paddy Chayefsky, is an X-ray of the corrupted soul of a corporate-dominated America, startlingly prescient in its anticipation of today’s outrage-driven news cycle. At a struggling television network, ambitious executive Diana Christensen (Faye Dunaway) finds herself with a hit on her hands when disgruntled newscaster Howard Beale (Peter Finch) goes off script, transforming himself into a mad-as-hell prophet railing against the ills of modern society. But can she control the populist revolution they have unleashed on the airwaves? Garnering four Oscars, including for Dunaway, Finch, and Chayefsky, this no-holds-barred New Hollywood classic remains as fearlessly funny as it is unnervingly relevant. (R, 121 min.)
