NAU’s College of Arts and Letters Film Series, which is co-sponsored by the Cline Library and the School of Communication, promotes understanding and appreciation of cinema through Northern Arizona University and the greater Flagstaff community.
Before each movie, a local film expert offers a short introduction to set the film in its historical, artistic, and cultural context. Each film is followed by a discussion.

The CAL film series blends well-known audience favorites along with lesser-known movies, as well as a mix of genres, artists, and decades, moving chronologically from past to present so that audiences can see the evolution of the art form.

Based on a screenplay by under-cover reporter Cameron Crowe, this film follows Southern California high school students in their pursuit of sex, drugs, and rock and roll. Directed by Amy Heckerling; Starring Sean Penn, Jennifer Jason Leigh, Judge Reinhold; 1982. 90 min. R
