VCAM Screening Room 001
Free and open to members of the Bi-Co Community; masks required. Space is limited! First come, first served.
Join members of the English/Comparative Literature course “Legends of Arthur” for a special screening of David Lowery’s The Green Knight.
From A24: An epic fantasy adventure based on the timeless Arthurian legend, The Green Knight tells the story of Sir Gawain (Dev Patel), King Arthur's reckless and headstrong nephew, who embarks on a daring quest to confront the eponymous Green Knight, a gigantic emerald-skinned stranger and tester of men. Gawain contends with ghosts, giants, thieves, and schemers in what becomes a deeper journey to define his character and prove his worth in the eyes of his family and kingdom by facing the ultimate challenger. From visionary filmmaker David Lowery comes a fresh and bold spin on a classic tale from the knights of the round table.
