White Wall Cinema Presents – BLADE RUNNER – Screening + Discussion

Master director Ridley Scott’s (Alien, Gladiator) ‘Final Cut’ of his moody, darkly elegant, philosophical Sci-Fi classic is the subject of our first White Wall Cinema discussion group evening. Join us for a screening of this classic Sci Fi with an optional chance to stay on and discuss the film’s many meanings in a relaxed informal post film chat with the aim of hopefully answering the long considered conundrum… ‘Do androids dream of electric sheep?’

Blade Runner’s tale of burnt out cop Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford) reluctantly hunting down a rogue gang of dangerous escaped replicants (i.e. synthetic human like robots) who are said to be developing human emotions, still resonates with audiences enthralled by the film’s central theme, what does it mean to be human? This combined with its (often copied) extraordinary production design and stylisation of a rain soaked, dystopian, film noir style future Los Angeles has given it timeless appeal.

A slew of subsequent classics like The Matrix, Ex Machina, Seven and Ghost In The Shell owe their existence to Blade Runner which has thoroughly permeated every corner of popular culture, don’t miss your chance to see it on the big screen and then discuss this bonafide cult classic.
