Sloan Spotlights 'WarGames' at TFF 2012

Almost 30 years after its release, John Badham's Oscar-nominated thriller WarGames, surrounding computer hacking, gaming technology and network security starring and Ally Sheedy, is perhaps more prevalent now than it was in 1983.

To celebrate this '80s classic, Tribeca Film Festival will have a special screening, sponsored by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation.

Following the film, as part of TFF's Tribeca Talks series, there will be a conversation with director John Badham, actress Ally Sheedy, Bitcoin Technical Lead Gavin Andresen and William D. Casebeer, PhD, Program Manager, Defense Sciences Office at DARPA (USAF, retired) about the historical relationship between military strategy and technical innovation, storytelling with gaming and simulation tools, and the challenges of depicting cutting-edge technology on the big screen.

Date: Saturday, April 28

Time: 1:30pm

Location: SVA Theater 1
