Book Club: Contact at the NFSA
BOOK CLUB AT THE NFSA IN PARTNERSHIP WITH CANBERRA WRITERS FESTIVAL
When alien intelligence contacts Earth, Dr Eleanor Arroway (Jodie Foster), a radio astronomer working on the SETI project, picks up the signal - included in it are blueprints for building an advanced spacecraft.
Based on Carl Sagan's 1985 novel, the film combines science, politics and religion to ask the big questions about our place in the universe.
'Contact is that rare big-budget motion picture that places ideas, characters and plot above everything else.' - ReelViews
The screening will be followed by a discussion of the film and the novel with special guest James Bradley OAM.
