Blade Runner (yes the classic sci-fi film in 35mm)
Details
A cult classic as soon as it left the screens in 1982, this is a can't miss for fans of science fiction, Harrison Ford, darkness, Ridley Scott, Vangelis, the year 2019, seedy Los Angeles and/or Sean Young (who went to Cleveland Heights High).
Here is the film synopsis:
"In the smog-choked dystopian Los Angeles of 2019, blade runner Rick Deckard is called out of retirement to terminate a quartet of replicants who have escaped to Earth seeking their creator for a way to extend their short life spans."
The Cinematheque hasn't set the actual film start time yet, so check back in early November. (I'm guessing 7:00 pm right now.)
We will meet in the lobby area at possibly 7:00 pm - which is maybe 15 minutes prior to the screening. I recommend eating a snack before you come. After the film we will head on over to India Flame, across the street, to discuss the film and enjoy some delicious curry dishes.
Free parking is available behind the CIA building in Lot 73 as well as in the annex lot. Both of these parking lots are easily accessed from East 117th Street off of Euclid Avenue. Please use Entrance C or Entrance A to enter the building.
The Cleveland Cinematheque is located inside of the Cleveland Institute of Art (not the Cleveland Museum of Art).
Let's get some sci-fi classic culture!
