‘The Farthest’ to close Dark Skies: A Festival Of Science Fact And Fiction Film
31 May 2017 : Katie McNeice
The Irish Film Institute will host the festival which runs from July 13th-16th, which is presented in collaboration with Science Gallery at Trinity College Dublin, featuring new and classic titles alike.

Director Emer Reynolds will attend the screening of her new documentary, which examines the four-decade mission of NASA Voyager 1 and Voyager 2. It is produced by John Murray and Clare Strong.

Other titles include the Oscar-winning ‘The Right Stuff’ (Philip Kaufman, 1983) in 70mm starring Dennis Quaid, Scott Glenn, Sam Shepard and Ed Harris. ‘The Andromeda Strain’ (Robert Wise, 1971) will be introduced by Lauren McKeown, who has previously studied at NASA’s AMES Research Centre in Silicon Valley.

A free screening will also take place in July at Trinity Science Gallery Dublin of Roy Cohen’s documentary Machine of Human Dreams, which follows artificial intelligence expert Ben Goertzel as he attempts to map the human mind. More information about the screening is available from the Science Gallery Dublin website.

David O’Mahony, IFI’s Head of Cinema Programming:
“Dark Skies represents a development of the programming concept which informed last year’s Futures Past season, that cinema from its earliest days has engaged with and taken inspiration from scientific discovery and new technologies, often in a playful and speculative fashion. The imaginative leaps taken by the creators of fantastical cinematic visions are underpinned by real-world scientific explorations.”
