Maine Film Center | Railroad Square Cinema presents
CINEMA IN CONVERSATION:
FILMS OF FREEDOM, CAPTIVITY, AND HUMAN RIGHTS
Sponsored by Colby Center for the Arts and Humanities and Oak Institute for Human Rights
Shown with “The ABCs of Abolition,” short film by Reagan Dennis
Post-film discussion with Colby College Professor of Cinema Studies Seth Kim.
A post-apocalyptic ice age forces humanity’s last survivors aboard a globe-spanning supertrain. One man (Chris Evans) will risk everything to lead a revolt for control of the engine and the future of the world. A film that’s “just as interested in examining topics like climate change, class, and cultural disparity as it is in revealing just how the film’s core team navigates a never-stopping hell train to take on the bad guys” – ArsTechnica.
