Come June, Steven Spielberg will return to science fiction with Disclosure Day<\/a>. Before that, New York\u2019s Jacob Burns Film Center wants to celebrate the filmmaker with a screening series<\/a> celebrating his genre work focused on video games, technology, and of course, aliens.<\/p>\n

Starting Saturday, May 9, the Center will have weekend showings of a different Spielberg sci-fi film. Things begin with A.I. Artificial Intelligence (May 9 and 10)<\/a>, then Minority Report (May 16 and 17)<\/a>, E.T.\u00a0(May 23-25)<\/a>, War of the Worlds (May 30 and 31)<\/a>, and\u00a0Ready Player One (June 6 and 7)<\/a>. For the format fans, screenings for War,\u00a0A.I.,\u00a0and Minority will be presented in 35mm.<\/p>\n

After skipping Disclosure Day\u2019s opening week (June 12-14), the series wraps on June 20 and 21 with Close Encounters of the Third Kind<\/a>. Each screening will have a discussion led by prominent film scholars who\u2019ll take the audience through an individual movie\u2019s themes and cultural impact. As the Center put it, Spielberg uses the sci-fi genre to \u201ccouple his fundamental strengths as a filmmaker with the peerless sense of imagination that makes him such a truly singular storyteller.\u201d<\/p>\n

For anyone in the area, the screenings are as good a reason as any to go through that part of Spielberg\u2019s filmography and see how those reflect on Disclosure, while\u00a0non-New Yorkers can have a marathon of their own with these movies at home.<\/p>\n
