Empire Records: Film Screening

Presented by Strictly Brohibited and ONCE Somerville and Groundwork Somerville at South Street Farm

Join Strictly Brohibited at the South Street Farm for a screening series of cool movies directed by non-male filmmakers.

Written by Carol Heikinnen and directed by Allan Moyle, this 1995 cult classic features an ensemble cast of alternative cuties (Liv Tyler, Robin Tunney, Rory Cochrane, Ethan Embry, Renee Zellweger, Johnny Whitworth, and more!) working at an independent record store on the brink of being bought out by an evil music conglomerate. Together with their boss (Anthony LaPaglia), the employees must come together to save their store while also dealing with annoying customers, attempted shoplifting, emotional breakdowns, rampant hormones, and a narcissistic pop star (Rex Manning).

Come for the distinctive 90s fashions and incredible soundtrack (Gin Blossoms! The Cranberries! The Martinis! GWAR!), stay for the endlessly quotable dialogue and ever-relevant message: D**N THE MAN!
