We at Fashion Week Cleveland have your chance to attend an advance screening of the upcoming inspiring film, JACKIE, on December 20 at Cedar Lee Theatre!
Follow the link for the opportunity to download passes - http://www.foxsearchlightscreenings.com/JACKIEFWC
*Passes are limited and seating is first-come, first-served and not guaranteed. Please arrive early to increase chance of entry.
JACKIE is a searing and intimate portrait of one of the most important and tragic moments in American history, seen through the eyes of the iconic First Lady, then Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy (Natalie Portman). JACKIE places us in her world during the days immediately following her husband's assassination. Known for her extraordinary dignity and poise, here we see a psychological portrait of the First Lady as she struggles to maintain her husband’s legacy and the world of "Camelot" that they created and loved so well. In local theatres December 21. #JackieFilm
Natalie Portman as "Jackie".
