Tuesday Night Film | Election (1999 / 103 minutes)

Tuesday, November 5 | 7 PM

Spend election night with us as we screen Alexander Payne’s darkly funny satire, Election (winner of Independent Spirit Awards for Best Feature, Director, and Screenplay). The campaign of an ambitious high-schooler (Reese Witherspoon) running for student council president is sabotaged by the schemes of her disillusioned teacher (Matthew Broderick). A hilarious and biting take on ambition, ethics, and the quest for power.
