This unlikely comedy struck a cultural nerve just as online formats and AI became increasingly visible, pervasive, and intertwined with our daily lives. Her won an Academy Award for its script, the AFI Film of the Year award, and the Art Director’s Guild award, among many others. The introduction and discussion of this film will be presented by Dr. Vivian Appler on November 16th. Wednesday, November 30: Limitless introduced by Sarah Wright (Philosophy)
