Join us at the MIT Museum for a special film series exploring time travel through the lens of science fiction cinema.
Presented in partnership with the Boston Sci Fi Film Festival.
From Victorian inventors to futuristic hitmen, each screening offers a unique take on the paradoxes, perils, and possibilities of traveling through time.
Time After Time
1979, Director: Nicholas Meyer
112 mins. Rated PG
In Victorian England, author H.G. Wells (Malcolm McDowell) lets his friends in on a secret: he's successfully built a time machine and intends to use it to travel to the future in search of a utopian society. But one of those friends, Dr. John Leslie Stevenson (David Warner) has his own secret: he's Jack the Ripper. After the doctor uses the machine, Wells travels to 1970s San Francisco in pursuit of him, where he's helped a beautiful, independent bank employee (Mary Steenburgen).
This screening is presented in collaboration with MIT Open Space Programming and will be held in the Kendall/MIT Open Space.
