Milano's Cinema Beltrade Celebrates Y2K Pop Culture with Double Screening of Cult Films

On Wednesday, September 11, 2024, Cinema Beltrade in Milan will host a double screening of two cult films from 2004: '13 Going on 30' directed by Gary Winick and 'Mean Girls' directed by Mark Waters. The event, starting at 8:30 PM, is organized in collaboration with the association Tafano and presented by writer and stand-up comedian Giada Biaggi and critic Francesco Foschini. The dress code is inspired by the iconic line 'On Wednesday we wear pink!' from 'Mean Girls'. The screening celebrates the enduring appeal of these Y2K-era films, which have become objects of nostalgia and cult status within web culture. '13 Going on 30' stars Jennifer Garner as Jenna Rink, a teenager who wakes up as a 30-year-old, featuring fashion moments like a Versace by Donatella mini-dress from spring-summer 2003. 'Mean Girls', written by Tina Fey and based on Rosalind Wiseman's book 'Queen Bees and Wannabes' (2002), stars Lindsay Lohan and Rachel McAdams, and is known for its sharp humor and iconic fashion, including Juicy Couture tracksuits and pink outfits. The event aims to rediscover these pop culture classics, which have recently resurfaced as fashion trends and aesthetic references among younger generations. Tickets are available via the Dice platform or by email reservation, with a discount for purchasing tickets to both screenings.
