Starman Screening & Filmmaker Q&A

Starman Screening & Filmmaker Q&A

From Academy Award®-nominated director Robert Stone, a New York Times Critics Pick documentary. In this meditative, intergalactic biopic, we follow Gentry Lee, Chief Engineer for Planetary Exploration at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory and sci-fi writer, on his journey through space and on Earth. From the Viking and Voyager missions to co-authoring the future with Arthur C. Clarke, Lee’s life has been spent with his head in the stars and his feet on the ground. The octogenarian Starman reflects on decades of space exploration alongside friends like Carl Sagan.

Following the screening, Director Robert Stone will sit down for a live Q&A moderated by Dr. William Gibbons, School of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences.

Reception to follow with a selection of bites and refreshments. Seats are limited. RSVP required.
