Come celebrate the special 30th anniversary screening of "Clueless" with the film’s iconic costume designer Mona May. May will discuss her new book, "The Fashion of Clueless," with "Breaking Into New Hollywood" co-author Ada Tseng during a post-screening Q&A. A book signing will follow. Synopsis: "Clueless" is a coming-of-age teen comedy that is loosely based on Jane Austen’s 1815 novel "Emma," with a modern-day setting of Beverly Hills.

From Cher’s sunny yellow plaid Jean Paul Gaultier skirt suit to her sleek, fitted red Alaïa dress, every outfit defined a teen who revered fashion as much as her friendships.

Co-presented by The House of Ukraine. Keeping schools open in Ukraine is an attempt to recreate at least some of the normal life they had before the war — until February 24, 2022 (and in some regions even earlier, in 2014). Without interviews, narration and reenactments, "Timestamp" provides an insight into how the war is affecting the daily lives of students and teachers. The film has a mosaic-like structure: it explores how a school functions in-person and online in these terrible times, both on and off the frontline, how day-to-day life is intertwined with constant danger.

A maxed-out mix of 1980s supernatural horror and slasher excess, MAUSOLEUM is a stylish, sleazy, and outrageously gory production, featuring a series of imaginative death scenes orchestrated by effects wizard John Carl Buechler (RE-ANIMATOR, GHOULIES). A woman (Bobbie Bresee, EVIL SPAWN) is infected with some no-good Satanic darkness upon visiting her mother’s grave, and she soon embarks on a logic-defying spree of telekinetic head-burstings, sexual mutilations, and high-octane unholy transformations, including one memorable segment where her breasts become carnivorous goblin heads. This inevitably leads to some stress in her relationship with her husband, played by former child evangelist Marjoe Gortner, as well as SANFORD & SON’s wisecracking LaWanda Page as the maid who won’t take shit from demons or anyone else. Throw in one crazed gardener, Mephisto-spawned lazerlight, and a brutal disregard for all rational motives, and you’re in for the best cinematic aneurysm of your life.

Exhibit on view October 6 - 10, 2025 in our Second Floor Gallery, FA-201 Reception: Wednesday, October 8, 4 - 7 p.m. Artist Talk at 6:30 p.m. in FA-105. Art heals. Confronted with breast cancer, artists Berenice Badillo and Gloria Muriel, found solace and strength in their creativity. During their most vulnerable moments, with their lives forcibly on hold, they drew and sketched, wrote poetry and affirmations. In this pop-up exhibit they share the artwork that emerged out of this difficult period. Theirs is a gift of knowledge, hope, and resilience; their work brings awareness and understanding of a disease that affects many women. This show is on view in our second-floor gallery during Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Inspired by Audre Lorde’s "The Cancer Journals" (1980); Badillo decided not to “waste her pain” and began to create educational content about her disease. She used social media effectively, with witty heartfelt posts that revealed the life of a cancer patient. As she navigated difficult moments, explaining medical jargon, she also but also found ways to experience joy. Drawings, sculptures, textile pieces burst out. Engaging her practice as a therapist, Badillo also created a poetry book that was provided to newly diagnosed patients. While undergoing chemotherapy, Gloria (Glow) Muriel also looked to artmaking as both refuge and powerful medicine. Sitting through treatment, she engaged in a meditative task of filling journals with sketches and words. The drawings she created for this exhibition, are expressions of an intimate time, when she felt the most vulnerable, and they are revealed to a public audience for the first time. Surreal and magical characters emerge guiding Muriel through her journey, connecting her to Nature and holistic practices. This exhibit will become a touching point, a way to support and start a conversation about this illness. During event park in Parking Lot 1. STAFF spots.
