When aliens arrive in 12 locations worldwide, humanity scrambles to determine if they pose a threat. The US Military calls in linguistics expert Dr Louise Banks (Amy Adams)to find a way to translate.
The film is based on Ted Chiang’s taut short story and asks audiences to consider what being human means.
Join us after the film for a vibrant "Science. Art. Film." discussion with a real-life linguist and film music composer. Find out more about the potentially surprising links between aliens and comedy in this film - and beyond!
‘Muted, measured and meditative, Arrival brings taste and restraint to a genre in the midst of a mini golden age: It comes in peace.’ – Washington Post
