Edinburgh Science Festival: Atmosphere / Arrival
About Edinburgh Science Festival: Atmosphere / Arrival
When gigantic, sculptural spaceships of unknown origin arrive at twelve locations around the globe, a crack team of scientists and experts are quickly enlisted by the world's military to help them understand... why are they here?
Linguist Louise Banks (Amy Adams) travels with one team to Montana to discover what lies within what hovers above. Director Denis Villeneuve’s Academy Award winning adaptation of a short story by Ted Chiang’s ‘Story of Your Life’ is a sublime experience that transcends traditional science-fiction cinema. We are delighted to collaborate with Simon Kirby, Professor of Language Evolution at the University of Edinburgh on our expansion of this film.
Presented by New Media Scotland in partnership with Grassmarket Community Project.
Suitable for Ages 12+
