District 9—Treasures from the Yale Film Archive

Join us for a captivating screening of DISTRICT 9 (Neill Blomkamp, 2009, 35mm, 112 mins)! 🌍 This thought-provoking sci-fi political parable explores themes of refugees and state repression, featuring Sharlto Copley as a South African bureaucrat who gains empathy—and some fighting skills—after a shocking transformation leads him to become a fugitive.

Part eco-critique and part mockumentary, this sleeper hit received four Oscar nominations and has been praised as “a brashly confident debut” (Tom Charity) and “audacious, original, and absolutely gut-wrenching” (Anupama Chopra).

This screening is brought to you by the Treasures from the Yale Film Archive series, with support from Paul L. Joskow ‘70 M.Phil., ‘72 Ph.D.
