American Graffiti (IB Tech Print)

With the generous support of our friends at NEON, we invite everyone to come together through the magic of film with a series of free community screenings, as we continue to navigate these difficult times.

This is a free event. Seating is on a first come, first serve basis and admission is not guaranteed.

Hop in the passenger seat and cruise the Modesto strip in George Lucas’ coming-of-age classic, American Graffiti! With college on the horizon, a group of high school grads celebrate the end of summer with a night of mischief and mayhem, drag racing and drive-ins, and uncover all the anxiety and excitement the future holds. Take a trip down memory lane in this nostalgic homage to the early ’60s, which features the iconic voice of DJ Wolfman Jack and an unforgettable soundtrack that brought us the most enduring hits of the era.

“The freshest American movie in years and may well prove to be a watershed film of major importance.” – The Hollywood Reporter

“This superb and singular film catches not only the charm and tribal energy of the teen-age 1950s but also the listlessness and the resignation that underscored it all like an incessant bass line in one of the rock-‘n’-roll songs of the period.” – Jay Cocks, TIME Magazine
