Filled with examples of graphic designer Annie Atkins’s masterful props, The Grand Budapest Hotel follows the story of Gustave (Ralph Fiennes), the legendary concierge of a luxury hotel in the fictional country of Zubrowka. Anderson and Atkins set his evolving friendship with lobby boy Zero (Tony Revolori) and the cast of eccentrics that populate the hotel in an eye-popping, fully realized world that exists sometime between the World Wars. (100 mins., DCP)

After the screening, Atkins will give us a guided tour of the design elements she has contributed to this film and many more as showcased in her engaging new book Fake Love Letters, Forged Telegrams, and Prison Escape Maps: Designing Graphic Props for Filmmaking (Phaidon).
