IKEA presents Screen on the Green and the Rushmore Festival, Friday, September 24, at 6:30 p.m. A celebration of Rushmore (1998, 93 min.) cult favorite of Houston-born director Wes Anderson filmed on location in Houston. Trivia contests, cast appearances and more.

"Rushmore" chronicles a year in the life of Max Fischer, a student at Rushmore Academy, one of the finest schools in the country. Max loves his prestigious school. He is the editor of the newspaper and yearbook; founder of the debate team, the dodgeball society, and the Max Fischer Players; and president of the French club, German club, chess club, and practically everything else. Max is applying for early admission to Oxford. Harvard is his safety. However, he is also one of the worst students in the school.

Threatened with expulsion, Max begins a new pursuit: falling for a first-grade teacher. But when Max's tycoon mentor starts an affair with the teacher, it triggers a war between Max and his friend.

Co-sponsored by Saint Arnold Brewing Company.
