To mark National Wilderness Month, marked in September, join us on September 13 at 6:00 PM MSK for a virtual screening of James Cameron’s Avatar (2009 / 12+).

Avatar is an epic science fiction film directed by James Cameron and starring Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldana, Stephen Lang, Michelle Rodriguez, and Sigourney Weaver. It is set in the mid-22nd century when humans are colonizing Pandora, a lush habitable moon of a gas giant in the Alpha Centauri star system inhabited by Na’vi, a humanoid indigenous species. It is the story of a wounded ex-marine, thrust unwillingly into an effort to settle and exploit the exotic planet rich in bio-diversity, who eventually crosses over to lead the indigenous race in a battle for survival. During its theatrical run, the film broke several box office records and became the highest-grossing film at the time. Avatar was nominated for nine Academy Awards and won three, for Best Art Direction, Best Cinematography, and Best Visual Effects.
