Her

KPAC and the UI Department of Politics and Philosophy present HER as part of our Science on Screen® series, showcasing films with introductions by notable figures from the world of science, technology, and medicine. Sweet, soulful, and smart, Spike Jonze’s Her uses its just-barely-sci-fi scenario to impart wryly funny wisdom about the state of modern human relationships. Sponsored by the University of Idaho Department of Politics and Philosophy.

Life. Internet. Death.
Dr. Tamara Kneese will discuss her new book, “Death Glitch: How Techno-Solutionism Fails Us in This Life and Beyond” and its relationship to the film HER. The book and film both explore technology and its messy relationship with mortality.

An initiative of the Coolidge Corner Theatre, with major support from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation. This event received support from TourWest, WESTAF (the Western States Arts Federation), and the National Endowment for the Arts.

Rated: R | 2 hr 6 min | Tickets: $8 Adult / Free for UI Students / Film Pass
