"Science. Art. Film." screening & discussion of "2067"
The year is 2067: climate change and nuclear war have ravaged the planet, leaving a single Australian city as the last bastion of humanity. Survival hinges on a fragile existence sustained by synthetic oxygen, but this life-giving resource comes with a horrible side effect: a deadly disease known as the ‘Sickness’. Ethan Whyte (Kodi Smit-McPhee), a struggling worker grappling with his wife's affliction, becomes humanity's last hope when a message from a far-flung future arrives. Chosen for a perilous mission, Ethan must journey through time, venturing into the unknown to rewrite humanity's fate and secure their survival.
Join us after the film for a lively panel discussion exploring the science, science fiction and aesthetics of 2067 with the film's director and the composer of the film's powerful and highly acclaimed score.
