About the event

Screening: "Contact" by Robert Zemeckis
When a complex radio transmission is detected from nearby star Vega, the search for alien life suddenly becomes more of a reality. At the center of this search is Dr. Ellie Arroway (Jodie Foster), a scientist working on the search for extraterrestrial intelligence who decodes the signal, revealing that it contains plans for a technologically advanced machine that can transport one person to Vega. As governments and billionaires work to build the device, conflicting desires and intentions emerge around the technology, as well as who will be chosen to travel aboard it to represent Earth. Adapted from the novel by Carl Sagan, Contact is about more than simply an alien encounter—it’s a story that complicates the binaries of science, religion, faith, and doubt. 1997, US, 35mm, 150 min.
