About this event
A science-fiction adventure directed by Luc Besson that follows a futuristic taxi driver who becomes responsible for protecting a mysterious woman whose existence is key to saving humanity from an ancient cosmic threat. The film is particularly valuable for students in film studies, communication, media studies, design, fashion, visual arts, and cultural studies because of its groundbreaking visual world-building, distinctive production design, use of satire, and exploration of technology, consumer culture, and global media. All film screenings are free in E109. The 3 p.m. screening is sensory-friendly, with dim (not dark) lighting, reduced volume, and open captions. The 6 p.m. screening offers a full cinema experience, including free popcorn.
