Join us for a screening of the hit sci-fi/mystery film Arrival, followed by a discussion with philosophy professor Justin Tiehen on Wednesday, March 22nd at 7pm in Rausch Auditorium.
Arrival is based on a short story “A Story of Your Life” by Ted Chiang, a renowned science fiction writer who will be giving a talk on campus Tuesday, April 2nd.
Arrival follows linguistics professor Louise Banks (Amy Adams) as she leads an elite team of investigators when gigantic spaceships touch down in 12 locations around the world. As nations teeter on the verge of global war, Banks and her crew must race against time to find a way to communicate with the extraterrestrial visitors. Hoping to unravel the mystery, she takes a chance that could threaten her life and quite possibly all of mankind.
The screening is sponsored by Campus Films, the Dolliver-NEH project “Humanities and Artificial Intelligence,” and the Department of Philosophy.
