Stalker (PG) screens 13th September

Acclaimed as one of the greatest science fiction films of all time, Tarkovsky’s hypnotic sci-fi masterpiece was filmed among the abandoned industrial landscapes and polluted waterways of Soviet Estonia.

With a famously troubled production including lost footage and on location shooting at a hazardous chemical plant, Tarkovsky creates one of cinema's most haunting visions of the unknown.

This QUAD Essentials screening will feature an introduction and post-film discussion.
