Ever wonder what it's like to prowl an abandoned asylum in the night? What you'll find in the darkest corners of Paris' catacombs? Who is sleeping in an abandoned, moldy "house of the future" on a Florida roadside?
Urban Explorers: Into the Darkness follows people who have sought answers to these questions. One of the best things about the film is that rather than make itself about places that are featured in two hundred photos on Flickr, the director hits at a more elusive aspect of urban exploration: the personalities and motivations of those who self-identify as explorers. The film is more of an inquiry into the handful of explorers profiled, and includes great interviews and some laugh-out-load hijinks.
The film screens at 7pm Thursday, September 11 at the Winifred Moore Auditorium at Webster University, 470 E. Lockwood Avenue in Webster Groves.
Thomas Crone has an interview with directory Melody Gilbert here.
