Science. Art. Film.: The Girl with All the Gifts
Advertisement
Join us for a gripping post-apocalyptic thriller that questions what it means to be human.
Then stay for a vibrant and engaging post-screening discussion exploring parasites, fungi, evolution and the surprising ways popular culture turns complex biological concepts into stories that capture the public imagination.
The Science. Art. Film. series uncovers the wacky, weird and wonderful facets of science and art in films, with post-screening discussions featuring artists and ANU scholars. In collaboration with ANU and the Australian National Centre for the Public Awareness of Science.
ABOUT THE FILM
In post-apocalyptic Britain, a highly contagious fungal outbreak has transformed much of London’s population into flesh-eating “hungries.” Infected while in utero, young Melanie’s intimate journey through horror to self-enlightenment might be the key to human survival.
Colm McCarthy’s adaptation of M.R. Carey’s novel offers a fresh take on the zombie film balancing action with unsettling ethical questions about survival and evolution. Moving at a pace, it deliberately disorientates with immersive cinematography which keeps us close to the action throughout.
