As part of After School Special: The 2015 School of Visual Arts Alumni Film & Animation Festival, we are pleased to present a special screening of Pacific Rim (2013), followed by a Q&A and behind-the-scenes look at the film with visual effects supervisor John H. Han (BFA 2003 Computer Art).  The Q&A will be moderated by current SVA student Sebastian Gat (BFA 2017 Computer Art, Computer Animation & Visual Effects).
Synopsis: As a war between humankind and monstrous sea creatures wages on, a former pilot and a trainee are paired up to drive a seemingly obsolete special weapon in a desperate effort to save the world from the apocalypse.  Starring Charlie Hunnam, Idris Elba, Charlie Day, Diego Klattenhoff, and Rinko Kikuchi, and directed by Guillermo del Toro.
The screening will be preceded by the short film Brink (2011), featuring visual effects by Luke DiTommaso (BFA 2001 Computer Art) and SVA BFA Computer Art alumni-artists from VFX studio The Molecule.
