About this Event
As part of Banned Books Week, we invite you to a thought-provoking screening of the 1966 adaptation of Fahrenheit 451, directed by Ramin Bahrani. This dystopian film, based on Ray Bradbury's classic novel, offers a chilling look at a world where books are banned and "firemen" burn any that are found.
About the film:
Adaptation of the Ray Bradbury novel about a future society that has banned all reading material and the job of the firemen is to keep the fires at 451 degrees: the temperature that paper burns. A fireman begins to re-think his job when he meets a book-loving girl.
"A marvelously courageous personal statement that becomes more fascinating with time.." - TV Guide
