Blade Runner

About this event

Experience Ridley Scott's cult classic, Blade Runner, on a vast HD screen while Vangelis's iconic, synthesizer-led score is performed live in sync with the film by The Avex Ensemble. This multi-Academy Award-nominated film is presented in its 2007 Final Cut edition, offering a unique cinematic and musical experience. In this stylish noir thriller set in a dystopian future, former police officer Rick Deckard (Harrison Ford) is pulled back into duty as a Replicant Hunter after four bioengineered beings escape from an off-world colony and return to Earth.

Tasked with eliminating them, Deckard’s mission grows increasingly complex when he crosses paths with Rachel (Sean Young), a Replicant who believes she’s human, raising questions of identity, emotion, and what it truly means to be alive. Vangelis’ legendary score, anchored by the expressive synthesized sound, redefined what electronic music could do in cinema. His use of sweeping synthesizers and atmospheric textures created a haunting soundscape that became inseparable from the film’s emotional and visual identity.
