Election

Two-time Oscar-winning writer and filmmaker Alexander Payne, director of The Holdovers, Sideways, Nebraska, The Descendants and About Schmidt, and others, will appear in person to answer audience questions about his career after a screening of a new 4K restoration of Election, his breakthrough film. The screening takes place at 3 p.m. at the Cleveland Institute of Art Cinematheque. In addition, Payne will introduce a 35mm screening of the rarely-shown Kurosawa classic Red Beard. That screening takes place at 7 p.m. at the Cinematheque.
