Shallow, rich and socially successful Cher is at the top of her Beverly Hills high school’s pecking scale. Seeing herself as a matchmaker, Cher first coaxes two teachers into dating each other. Emboldened by her success, she decides to give hopelessly klutzy new student Tai a makeover. When Tai becomes more popular than she is, Cher realizes that her disapproving ex-stepbrother was right about how misguided she was — and falls for him.
We are totally butt-crazy in love with Clueless.
Join us for an evening that will bring together beauty and brains: a screening to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the iconic 1995 film Clueless and a talk with Veronica Litt, author of Ugh! As If!: Clueless. Uncover the complex layers beneath the glossy surface of Clueless as we look into not just the Jane Austen satire but the film’s deeper ethical questions. This movie is so much more than just fun, feminine, and feel-good.
Whether you’re a total Betty, a ditz with a credit card, or a virgin who can’t drive, this night is all about our love for Clueless and hope for the future. As Veronica writes, “When everything seems hopeless and passivity paralysis takes hold, Clueless energizes viewers into believing that we’re not doomed. With enough optimism, good-heartedness, and commitment to doing the work, we can change things for the better. I mean, what else are we supposed to do – give up and let inequity, selfishness, and injustice rule the day? As Cher would say, ‘Ugh! As if!'” -ECW PRESS
