Signature Screenings
E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial
Celebrate International Production Design Week with a special screening of Steven Spielberg’s heartwarming masterpiece E.T., featuring Emmy Award-winning and Academy Award-nominated production designer Jim Bissell. E.T. is the unforgettable story of a lost little alien who befriends a lonely 10-year-old boy as they both try to figure out how to “phone home.” A luminous blend of science fiction spectacle and intimate suburban fable, Spielberg crafts a modern fairy tale alive with both cosmic possibility and domestic tenderness. Endlessly quoted, parodied, and adored, experience this touchstone of American cinema anew.
A Q&A with production designer Jim Bissell precedes the screening.
