Screening ARRIVAL (Rated M)

When mysterious spacecrafts touch down across the globe, an elite team – lead by expert linguist Louise Banks (Amy Adams) – is brought together to investigate. As mankind teeters on the verge of global war, Banks and the team race against time for answers – and to find them, she will take a chance that could threaten her life, and quite possibly humanity.
Watch preview here.

The scientific themes within this film will set the scene for a lively discussion between attendees and our expert panellists:

Dr David Lewis (Psychology, Murdoch University)
Dr Sender Dovchin (School of Education, Curtin University)
Ben Ainslie and Daniel Midgley (R2R FM’s “Talk the Talk” Radio Presenters)
Doctor Frances Marcus Lewis (Professor, University of Washington, Affiliate Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center)

Our special format for the evening will include screening the first half of ‘Arrival’ before breaking for a panel discussion about the scientific topics explored in the movie. This will be followed by a break for pizza before watching the second half of the film.

We are encouraging reduced use of plastic and ask that guests bring along a reusable drink bottle for water. Please note that no food is not allowed in the Planetarium.
