🎥This Thursday [September 12], at 7 p.m., as a part of snkh. studio’s month, LFA will host a film screening — The Fountainhead (1949) by King Vidor.
•
The Fountainhead is based on the homonymous novel by Ayn Rand, published in 1943. An exposition of the author's anticommunist philosophy of “objectivism,” The Fountainhead tells of the struggle of genius architect Howard Roark—said to be based on Frank Lloyd Wright—as he confronts conformist mediocrity.
In Rand’s world, suppression of individual creativity is the greatest evil. Roark is expelled from architectural school for his nonconformist ideas, but he pursues his vision undaunted.
