From Terrence Malick, the acclaimed director of such classic films as Badlands, Days of Heaven and The Thin Red Line, The Tree of Life is the impressionistic story of a Midwestern family in the 1950's. The film follows the life journey of the eldest son, Jack, through the innocence of childhood to his disillusioned adult years as he tries to reconcile a complicated relationship with his father (Brad Pitt). Jack (played as an adult by Sean Penn) finds himself a lost soul in the modern world, seeking answers to the origins and meaning of life while questioning the existence of faith. Through Malick's signature imagery, we see how both brute nature and spiritual grace shape not only our lives as individuals and families, but all life.

Event Info
NCSA and the eDREAM Institute present what may be your last chance to see Terrence Malick's award-winning film "The Tree of Life" on a giant cinema screen. The cinematographic masterpiece includes scenes created by the Advanced Visualization Laboratory, a team based here in Champaign-Urbana at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications. The eDream Institute grew out of Director Donna Cox's experience at the intersection of science, technology, and art, and brings digital media experiences to students at the University of Illinois
