This June, Pontio’s Cinema welcomes producer and co-author of The Terminator films, Gale Anne Hurd, for a Q&A session, to celebrate 40 years since the release of The Terminator.
As part of the Terminator @40: Origins and Legacies conference hosted by the Centre for Film, Television and Screen Studies at Bangor University, we will host a special screening of James Cameron’s The Terminator. Before the screening, we will be joined by producer and co-writer of the film Gale Anne Hurd.
Gale Anne Hurd is a multi-award-winning producer and the founder of Valhalla Entertainment, most recently known for the global cultural phenomenon, Emmy®-winning and record-shattering TV series, The Walking Dead, and its multiple spin-offs, including Fear the Walking Dead, Dead City, Daryl Dixon, and The Ones Who Live, and such iconic classic feature films as Aliens, The Abyss, Armageddon, Tremors, Alien Nation, The Ghost and the Darkness, The Terminator and Terminator 2: Judgment Day.
The conference hosted by the Centre for Film, Television and Screen Studies at Bangor University proposes to bring together scholars from diverse disciplinary backgrounds – such as cultural and screen studies; the history of art, design, fashion and architecture; musicology; philosophy; political sciences; literature – to explore The Terminator forty years after its release, explore its origins and legacies and consider its position within wider visual culture.
Dion Wyn, Pontio’s Cinema Co-ordinator said, “This is a brilliant opportunity hear one of the cinema greats in discussion in Bangor! It’s an honour to invite Gale Anne Hurd here to Pontio’s Cinema to hear more about her life, work and The Terminator.”
The screening The Terminator (15) with a Q&A session with Gale Anne Hurd, will be on Tuesday 18 June, 7pm with a screening of The Terminator 2: Judgement Day (15) on Wednesday 19 June, 7.30pm. Tickets are available at https://bit.ly/3QcuIpI or through the Box Office on 01248 38 28 28.
