A day of special screenings, featuring the Miami-Dade Public System 16mm Film Collection

Join us for a special screening of The Making of Star Wars (1977) from the Miami-Dade Public System 16mm Film Collection, followed by a screening of The Force Awakens (2015).

Using film footage from Star Wars, and behind-the scenes filming, robots R2D2 and C-3P0 explain how the special effects were created. The Making of Star Wars features behind-the-scenes footage from Star Wars, and interviews with writer/director George Lucas, producer Gary Kurtz, and cast members Mark Hamill, Carrie Fisher, Harrison Ford, and Alec Guinness. Among the behind-the-scenes footage is a brief glimpse of a deleted scene between Luke Skywalker and Biggs Darklighter on Tatooine.

Bring your blankets and favorite Star Wars costume! Screenings will be held in the 2nd floor area.
