Andre is an Idiot: A Film Screening & Reception

Sponsored by the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine Office of Alumni Relations, Whiting School of Engineering, and the Film and Media Studies Department and in Partnership with Joint Venture, the Film's Distributor

Join the Johns Hopkins University community for a unique, interdisciplinary evening focused on the intersection of storytelling, healthcare, and innovation.

This special event features a screening of the critically acclaimed film, Andre is an Idiot, winner of the Sundance Audience Award. The film tells the powerful, often humorous story of an irreverent man who receives a terminal colon cancer diagnosis after avoiding routine preventive care. It follows his unexpected journey as he determines to maintain his humor while navigating mortality and "learning to die happily." The narrative serves as a compelling and relatable exploration of preventive medicine, personal responsibility, and the human condition. The film screening will be immediately followed by an Q&A discussion and networking reception.

This is a high-value opportunity for all alumni to connect with fellow alumni, students, and friends. The event is free to attend and open to the entire Johns Hopkins community.
