Back with another installment of midnight screenings, the concept of film aficionado Akis Kapranos returns, featuring three films, three unique worlds, and an unforgettable cinematic experience beneath the city stars.

• The Love Bug, Robert Stevenson, 1968

The lovable Herbie, the “Beetle with a soul,” brings laughter and action in this classic Disney comedy. A race car driver in a career crisis and a car with personality prove that friendship and dedication win every race. A light-hearted, feel-good film that continues to captivate both young and old.

• Blade Runner, Ridley Scott, 1982

More than just a science fiction film, Ridley Scott’s iconic futuristic noir transports us to the dark, rainy Los Angeles of 2019. "Blade runners" hunt down replicants, genetically engineered humans, in a story that goes beyond police procedural to explore deep existential questions about identity and humanity. A masterpiece that defined the genre.

• Christine, John Carpent, 1983

From Stephen King’s imagination and directed by John Carpenter comes one of the most iconic thrillers of the '80s. A seemingly innocent red Plymouth Fury develops a life of its own, dragging its young owner into a dark obsession. A cult classic that explores the darker side of passion, uniquely capturing the atmosphere of the '80s and still beloved by horror movie fans today.
