Science Film Festival: Contact

Based on the novel by the famed astrophysicist Carl Sagan, Contact tells the story of a mysterious radio signal discovered by Dr. Ellie Arroway at Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence (SETI). Dr. Arroway contends with the far-reaching implications of her discovery and considers the pursuit of a first contact with extraterrestrial life.
