Third in the Bring on the Extraterrestrials Film Series screens February 5, 2020

Arrival is the third film in the series Bring on the Extraterrestrials currated by Dr. Robert Smith (History & Classics) for Metro Cinema.  Bring on the Extraterrestrials explores how filmmakers at various periods and from different perspectives, have tackled questions about the existence, nature, and significance of extraterrestrial life. By engaging with the truly alien in the company of these film-makers we will also sharpen our sense of what it means to be truly human. (This term the series is running in parallel with HIST 496/696.)

Arrival will be showing at the Metro Cinema on Wednesday February 5th at 7pm, introduced by Dr. Smith.

Dr. Robert Smith (History and Classics) is interviewed about the film Arrival for the Metro Cinema's February podcast (at around 12 minutes into the podcast): https://anchor.fm/owen-armstrong/episodes/Metro-Cinema-Presents----Close-Up---February-eaatrr
