SOCIAL CINEMA // Dune (1984)
The following description was submitted by the event organizer.
Zendaya and Timothée are cool, but have you seen David Lynch’s 1984 version of Dune, which Roger Ebert dubbed “the worst film of the year”? Watch the original, and design your own sand art creation inspired by the golden terrain of Arrakis, the pinks and purples of a desert sky, and the cerulean blue of Spice users.
ON SCREEN: Dune
1984. Directed by David Lynch. Runtime: 137 minutes. Rated PG-13.
In the year 10191, a spice called melange is the most valuable substance known in the universe, and its only source is the desert planet Arrakis. A royal decree awards Arrakis to Duke Leto Atreides and ousts his bitter enemies, the Harkonnens. However, when the Harkonnens violently seize back their fiefdom, it is up to Paul (Kyle MacLachlan), Leto’s son, to lead the Fremen, the natives of Arrakis, in a battle for control of the planet and its spice. Based on Frank Herbert’s epic novel.
