**Screenwriters**: Peter Sollett, Eva Vives **Producers**: Scott Macaulay, Robin O’Hara, Peter Sollett, Alain de la Mata Vidiots is excited to welcome **Melonie Díaz** for a special screening of the coming-of-age classic ***Raising Victor Vargas***! A warm, funny, and intimate look at growing up and getting down on the Lower East Side, this coming-of-age classic is an undeniable treasure of indie cinema. Victor, a horny Lower East Side Dominican teenager, deals with his eccentric family and tries to solidify himself as a ladies man, but strikes out with everyone but the big girls. When he sets his sights on his beautiful neighbor Judy, he’s got to compete with his whole Manhattan neighborhood. A charming and hilarious portrait of youth that strays from the expected tropes, this all-too-relatable East Side delight is ripe for rediscovery! **Picks from the Video Store** Visit our Coming of Age section for more growing pains! *Slums of Beverly Hills, Mi Vida Loca, Crooklyn* **Accessibility Options**: Amplified Audio, please see the box office for devices.
