Science & Cinema: Contact

Contact (1997) is one of the most influential sci-fi films of all time. Based on the novel by Carl Sagan, it explores the idea of humanity being contacted by an unspecified intelligence and considers not only the scientific ramifications but also philosophical themes. Join Standley Lake Stargazing for a discussion on the film and the real-life search for extraterrestrial intelligence!

Note: We’ll show excerpted scenes from the film, but you’re invited to view the film in advance to get the full context.

Free virtual event. Families welcome. Hosted by Standley Lake Stargazing
