History of the Future Film Series: 'They Live'

They Live Screencap

This summer, FilmBar and Arizona State University's Center for Science and the Imagination are going back to the future.

This second installment of The History of the Future film series rounds up another set of delightfully schlocky, thought-provoking films from decades past. With introductions and comments from scholars and experts, we'll examine stories about the future from the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s and think about how accurate those visions turned out to be.

"They Live" (1988) envisions a society dominated by propaganda.

Other History of the Future film events will take place at FilmBar on June 21 with "Logan's Run" and Aug. 16 with "Demolition Man."
