All About My Mother // Summer of ’99 Series
The following description was submitted by the event organizer.
Welcome to the Summer of ’99, before smartphones, social media, and streaming. Pre-doom scroll, bed rot, and AI ubiquity. 1999 wasn’t just another year—it was THE year. The one that redefined cinema. Think: Go, All About My Mother, The Talented Mr. Ripley, Election, Three Kings, and Office Space. It was a launching pad for today’s biggest filmmakers, a breakout year for indie film, and a cultural turning point that echoes today. To honor this watershed moment in movie history, Tomorrow Theater is teaming up with art + magazine space Chess Club and avant-garde fashion boutique Stand Up Comedy to curate a season-long celebration featuring these enduring titles. The films above not only connect shared sensibilities but also reflect the language, skepticism, rage, humor, and romance that shaped a worldview. Leave your phone behind and hold onto your ticket stubs, because this is the SUMMER OF ’99.
