Euro Media Forum, in collaboration with the Faculty of ICT, is holding The Blade Runner Film event, celebrating Ridley Scott’s influential science fiction film. Adapted from Phillip K.Dick’s novel Do Android’s Dream of Electric Sheep?, and originally panned by critics back in 1982, it has since become a cult film classic.

Blade Runner is a fascinating detective story starring Harrison Ford as Rick Deckard, a world-weary ex-policeman turned android hunter and his renegade prey Roy Batty played by Rutger Hauer. The film continues to attract a huge following and retains a unique place in cinema thanks to Vangelis’s timeless synthesised score amid the shimmering visual effects and breathtaking futuristic sets.

Guest speaker Mike Rosner will lead the audience into a greater appreciation of how author Phillip K.Dick’s novel themes of artificial intelligence, paranoia, and social decay envision a future ruled by robots and how Ridley Scott’s striking visual images probe profound questions about what it means to be human and the dangers of playing God.

The audience is invited to participate and put forward to the guest speaker their questions, curiosities and observations. To spice up the evening there will also be a quiz, with the opportunity to win cinema tickets and a free pizza meal for two.

This event is being held in collaboration with the Faculty of Information and Communication Technology – University of Malta, Eden Cinemas, Science is Culture and Giotto restaurant. Entrance is free.

The event is taking place on Friday at 8pm at the New Cinema Hall, Faculty of ICT, University of Malta. For bookings send an e-mail to euromediaforum @gmail.com or send an SMS to 9945 4066.
