About the film:
Wes Anderson’s Rushmore is a sharp, offbeat coming-of-age comedy in which an eccentric prep-school outsider navigates friendship, ambition and an unlikely love triangle with wit, style and surprising heart.
 
Please respect the lawn and your fellow filmgoers: only bring blankets that are permeable (no plastic/nylon/tarps), and chairs that are low-backed and low to the ground. Setup is permitted starting at noon on the day of the screening.
