Pump Up the Volume (1990) – Special Screening

Join us for a special screening of the cult classic Pump Up the Volume (1990) starring Christian Slater.

Released more than three decades ago, Pump Up the Volume remains one of the most influential films about youth culture, free expression, and the power of independent media. Christian Slater stars as Mark Hunter, a shy high school student by day and the anonymous late-night pirate radio host "Happy Harry Hard-On" by night. Through his underground broadcasts, Mark inspires his classmates to challenge authority, speak their minds, and find their voices.

Featuring a memorable soundtrack and a performance that helped define a generation, Pump Up the Volume is a powerful reminder that one voice can make a difference.
