Event
On a fall night in 2003, Harvard undergrad and computer programming genius Mark Zuckerberg sits down at his computer and heatedly begins working on a new idea. In a fury of blogging and programming, what begins in his dorm room soon becomes a global social network and a revolution in communication. A mere six years and 500 million friends later, Mark Zuckerberg is the youngest billionaire in history... but for this entrepreneur, success leads to both personal and legal complications. From director David Fincher and screenwriter Aaron Sorkin comes The Social Network, a film that proves you don't get to 500 million friends without making a few enemies. The film is produced by Scott Rudin, Dana Brunetti, Michael De Luca, and Ceán Chaffin and based on the book The Accidental Billionaires by Ben Mezrich.
Aaron Sorkin, Jesse Eisenberg, and Armie Hammer will lead a Q&A about the movie with Penn Cinema Studies students.
Students are invited to attend a screening of The Social Network prior to the event as follows:
- Thursday, September 9, Rave Motion Pictures UPenn, 7:30pm
- Monday, September 13, Rave Motion Pictures UPenn, 2:00pm
Penn Cinema Studies students are invited to contact Nicholas Tarnowski to reserve seat for either screening.
This program is open to Penn Cinema Studies students only and is made possible thanks to Columbia Pictures in collaboration with the Cinema Studies Program at the University of Pennsylvania.
