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. It was a launching pad for today’s biggest filmmakers, a breakout year for indie film, and a cultural turning point that echoes today. Join a special screening of an all-time favorite: Being John Malkovich—complete with John Malkovich masks (first come, first served).

ON SCREEN: Being John Malkovich

1999. Directed by Spike Jonze. Runtime: 1hr 52min. Rated R.

A lowly puppeteer (John Cusack) takes a job as a file clerk in an office, only to discover a mysterious portal that transports a person into the mind of actor John Malkovich, only to be spit out alongside the New Jersey Turnpike fifteen minutes later.
