Description

Film Screening of H.G. Wells' 1936 film, Things to Come Join the Gregg Museum for a free evening screening of English writer H.G. Wells' 1936 film, Things to Come. It is the year 1940 and civilization has been torn apart by a global war - transformed from a place of order and progress into a nightmarish landscape of fear and disease. One small warring tribe struggles for its existence, when out of the sky comes a fantastic craft bearing a mysterious stranger who offers them a new path, one free of war and strife. Spanning generations, Things to Come is science fiction on a grand scale, featuring eye-popping sets, a larger than life performance by Academy Award nominee Ralph Richardson, and the powerful score of Sin Arthur Bliss. Lavishly restored in high definition from the original film elements, Things to Come was selected and personally color-designed by legendary effects master Ray Harryhausen. As part of a research-extensive land-grant university, the Gregg Museum of Art & Design inspires creativity, innovation, and the expression of ideas. Its permanent collection contains over 35,000 objects, and the museum presents several exhibitions a year.
