Description:

Set around the last months of George Orwell's life, the documentary follows the author's creative processes and obsessions while writing 1984, his dystopian novel that has marked contemporary culture. Through archival photographs, film fragments, Orwell's own texts and current images, Orwell: 2+2=5 reveals how concepts such as doublethink, thought crime, the new language and the omnipresent presence of 'Big Brother' are still disturbing and relevant to understanding today's world and the ways in which power and the way in which power.

Free admission limited to the capacity of the room. The box office opens 30 minutes before.
