Join us for a screening taking place at America House Kyiv and participate in a discussion about post-college uncertainty, the search for identity, the complexities of relationships, and the tension between idealism and pragmatism in a rapidly commercializing world in “Reality Bites” (1994) from director Ben Stiller. 

Explore the language of cinema, watch movies in their original language, and practice your English-speaking skills through friendly moderated discussions at American Film Nights with America House Kyiv. Join us Tuesdays at 18:30 at America House Kyiv. Participation is by pre-registration only. Learn more about our upcoming films and how to attend here.

Our next event will take place on January 14th, at 18:30 at America House Kyiv (Mykoly Pymonenka Street 6.) 

“Reality Bitesr” (1994)

In this study of Generation X manners, Lelaina Pierce, the valedictorian of her college class, camcords her friends in a mock documentary of post education life. Troy Dyer is her best friend, a perpetually unemployed musical slacker. Vickie Miner is a manager at the Gap who worries about the results of an A.I.D.S. test, while Sammy Gray has problems grappling with his sexuality. When Lelaina meets Michael Grates, an earnest video executive who takes her homemade video to his MTV-like station, she must decide what she values - the materialism of yuppie Michael or the philosophical musings of Troy.
