For World Philosophy Day we’ll watch & discuss the adult animated surrealist drama written and directed by Richard Linklater.

Join us for this year’s World Philosophy Day!

We’re hosting a free screening at Filmcasino, followed by a discussion on the movie’s many pressing philosophical questions. Moderation by philosophers Alex Horne and Camilo Martinez.

Synopsis:

Dreams. What are they? An escape from reality or reality itself?

Waking Life is about a young man in a persistent lucid dream-like state. The film follows its protagonist as he initially observes and later participates in philosophical discussions that weave together issues like reality, free will, our relationships with others, and the meaning of life.

The film will be in English with German subtitles.
