EC Film Screening: Get Out Have you still not had the chance to see the critically acclaimed 2017 horror film, Get Out? The Office of Spiritual Life and Intercultural Education is sponsoring the screening of the movie which won the 2017 Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay and earned nominations at the Golden Globe Awards, the British Academy Film Awards and more. Jordan Peele, actor and comedian, made his directorial debut with this film and cited The Stepford Wives, Rosemary’s Baby and the Night of the Living Dead as inspirations behind the movie. The audience gets to follow the story of African-American Chris Washington, played by Daniel Kaluuya, and his discovery of his white girlfriend’s family disturbing secret. Though comedic at times, Peele sees the film as a way of tackling important social issues such as race through entertainment. Come laugh and ponder the implications of Get Out on Nov. 7 at 5:30 p.m. in the Arts Center room B1-101. RSVP here.
