Part of the Wellcome Trust funded Playing God Project and presented by the Science Entertainment Lab at the University of Manchester this season of six films confronts questions about the nature of and connections between science and religion. How do we anticipate and comprehend worlds just beyond our grasp? How do we find ways of understanding and portraying the interplay between science and religion on film? Andrei Tarkovsky’s science fiction masterpiece is a contemplative exploration of the connections between art, the individual, and the life of the spirit. At each film screening an expert speaker will provide a brief introduction and then lead a post-screening discussion with the audience. The evening will include an opening reception from 17.30 where drinks will be available for purchase. See the Lab website for full list of dates and times of screenings or contact organizers Ray Macauleyray.macauley@manchester.ac.uk  or Amy Chambers amy.chambers@manchester.ac.uk for further information.
