Why are we here? Are we alone? What does it all mean? The blockbuster movie Contact, starring a young Jodie Foster, is arguably one of the more inspirational movies to address these questions. Join us at the Alamo Drafthouse for a special viewing of this cult classic and a discussion with keynote speaker Dr. Andrew Maynard, Associate Dean, College of Global Futures, Arizona State University. Did you know this movie was filmed right in our own backyard? This event will also feature a chat with representatives from the Very Large Array in Socorro, New Mexico.
