Reel Talk: Blade Runner at NBAM
October 8 @ 8:00 pm
Blade Runner screens Thursday, Oct. 8, at 8 p.m. at New Bedford Art Museum. The 1982 Ridley Scott film follows ex-cop Rick Deckard, played by Harrison Ford, as he hunts human-like androids known as replicants in a dystopian Los Angeles. Based on Philip K. Dick’s novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?, the film helped shape the cyberpunk genre by exploring artificial intelligence and human consciousness.
The screening includes pre- and post-film discussions with Dr. Mocha J. Herrup, a senior lecturer in Suffolk University’s Communications, Journalism and Media Department, award-winning filmmaker, and experienced film festival programmer. Herrup holds a Ph.D. in radio-TV-film from the University of Texas at Austin.
