How math has been presented in the movies as structure, metaphor, and story

Math Film Festival in Berkeley:

Mathematicians are all the rage in the arts these days: Philip Glass's opera Galileo Galilei, David Auburn's play Proof, and the films Good Will Hunting, A Beautiful Mind, and Enigma have brought mathematicians and the process of making mathematics to a wide audience. Films in this series will be introduced by noted mathematicians, providing an in-depth view of how math has been presented in the movies as structure, metaphor, and story.

How I love this town.
