THE EXPERIENCE
As A Larger Reality: Ursula K. Le Guin comes to a close at Oregon Contemporary, join us for a film that honors the imagination, empathy, and wonder at the heart of Le Guin’s work.
We’ll journey into The Lathe of Heaven, a visionary adaptation of Le Guin’s novel where dreams reshape reality and every wish carries its shadow. This special screening invites audiences to reflect on the power of creation, and the delicate balance between dreaming and doing.
ON SCREEN: The Lathe of Heaven
1980. Directed by Fred Barzyk & David R. Loxton. Runtime: 1 hour 45 minutes.
George Orr, a man whose dreams can change waking reality, tries to suppress this unpredictable gift with drugs. Dr. Haber, an assigned psychiatrist, discovers the gift to be real and hypnotically induces Mr. Orr to change reality for the benefit of mankind—with bizarre and frightening results.
