Cine will present a special, one night only, screening of an archival 35mm print of the classic 1973 film AMERICAN GRAFFITI. The storyline of the film follows the last night of summer 1962, and the teenagers of Modesto, California, who want to have some fun before adult responsibilities close in. Nothing can stop the next day from coming, and with it, the vastly different future ushered in by the 1960s. Starring Richard Dreyfuss, Ron Howard, Harrison Ford and Mackenzie Phillips, the film established the reputations of director George Lucas and his young cast. It also furthered the onset of soundtrack-driven, youth-oriented movies. Although the film helped spark 1970s nostalgia for the 1950s, nothing else would capture the flavor of the era with the same humorous candor and latent sense of foreboding.
Screenings will be at 5;30 p.m. and 8 p.m. A reception, catered by THE NATIONAL RESTAURANT, will feature small plates of hamburger sliders and fries, served by the Classic City Rollergirls. The event will also kickoff Cine's fall membership drive and is a great opportunity to become a new member, renew an existing membership or refer a friend.
