Film and Philosophy at CEPPA – Twister (1996) with Simon Lee (Earth & Environmental Sciences)
April 30 @ 4:30 pm - 8:00 pm
We are proud to present the Twelfth Session of Film and Philosophy at CEPPA (aka the CEPPA Film Club). On this occasion we have a special guest from the department of Earth and Environmental Sciences, Simon Lee, who will be discussing Twister (1996) with us. Simon Lee is, among other things, a storm chaser, so he’ll be talking about his experience, what the film gets right, and what the film get wrong.
As per usual we will gather from 16:30 onwards to watch and discuss the film. You can see the trailer here. Also as per usual, there will be drinks and snacks from Luvians. Lastly, here is a list of suggested readings and videos.
