With producer Alex Coco ’12 in-person

 The first American film awarded the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival since 2011, Anora features a star-making performance by Mikey Madison as Ani, a young Uzbek-American exotic dancer and sex worker from Brighton Beach who is pursued by Ivan (Mark Eydelshteyn), a customer from a wealthy Russian family. The Cinderella story begins to crack when Ivan’s parents catch wind of their marriage and demand that it be annulled, unleashing a series of events that upend the rags-to-riches narrative. The screening will be followed by a discussion with the film’s producer, Colgate alum Alex Coco ’12.
