The National Building Museum is proud to partner with the American Film Institute (AFI) Silver Theatre and Cultural Center to present a film series associated with the Musueum's exhibition Unbuilt Washington. Things to Come: The City Imagined on Film screens films that feature striking alternative visions of urban life.

LOGAN’S RUN
Saturday, March 31, 3:00 pm

Michael Anderson’s cult classic, about a hedonistic domed city that hides some terribly dark secrets, is a “vast, silly extravaganza” according to Roger Ebert. Residents devote themselves to the pursuit of pleasure, but must pay a high price when they are terminated at 30, in a public ritual of “renewal.” Fear of this event leads two individuals to become “runners” as they search for answers beyond the domed city’s walls—where they find a vine-covered Washington, DC instead. Many Texas locations are featured, in particular the now-demolished Apparel Mart at Dallas Market Center (built 1964) and Philip Johnson’s Fort Worth Water Gardens. IR Michael Anderson; SCR David Zelag Goodman; PROD Saul David and Hugh Benson. US, 1976, color, 119 min. RATED PG
