Arts Circle and Film Lover Members, you and a guest are invited to join us for a theatrical screening of Bottoms, followed by an in-person conversation with writer/director Emma Seligman, moderated by Jenn Wilson (Senior Programmer, Film Independent).

Beverages will be served prior to the screening, starting at 7:00 pm PT.

Bottoms, a refreshingly unique raunchy comedy, focuses on two girls, PJ and Josie, who start a fight club as a way to lose their virginities to cheerleaders. Their bizarre plan works. The fight club gains traction and soon the most popular girls in school are beating each other up in the name of self-defense. But PJ and Josie find themselves in over their heads and in need of a way out before their plan is exposed.

Writer/director Emma Seligman won the John Cassavetes Award at the 2022 Film Independent Spirit Awards for their feature directorial debut, Shiva Baby.

From MGM, Bottoms will be in select theaters August 25 and expands to additional theaters September 1.
