Film Screening—Beyond the Archive, Beyond the WIRE

Maryland Hall’s A/V Club brings movie lovers together for free screenings and lively post-film discussions in a welcoming community setting. This month, club members will watch Brazil––a 1985 Dystopian science fiction dark comedy film directed by Terry Gilliam.

Passionate filmmaker Antoine travels to his birthplace, Algiers, with his young son to present his new film: an account of his childhood in mid-20th century Algeria during the country’s civil war. Growing up in the final moments of Algeria’s pre-independence period, the young Antoine discovers his profound fascination with cinema and starts to understand who he truly is.
