Two of the greatest films of the 1970s came out in the same year and have not only stood the test of time but remain incredibly relevant today. NorthwestFilmFest is thrilled to present these bona fide classics on the big screen! Don't miss this rare opportunity to discover two of the greatest films from arguably the greatest decade of American filmmaking!

A television network cynically exploits a former anchor's ravings and revelations about mass media for its own profit, but finds that his message may be difficult to control. What seemed unimaginable in 1976 has become remarkably prescient in our "do anything for a rating or a like" world. One of the sharpest satires ever released by a major studio, from one of the greatest filmmakers of his generation, NETWORK was nominated for a whopping 10 Academy Awards, winning four and deservedly sweeping all four major acting categories. 

Starring Faye Dunaway, William Holden, Peter Finch, Robert Duvall, and Beatrice Straight.
