SYNOPSIS

Isabelle Fuhrman, Josh Hutcherson, Dennis Quaid, and David Thewlis star in this gripping sci-fi thriller from writer-director Jonathan Sobol.

When tech billionaire Sam Houston (Quaid) recruits brilliant computer scientist Annika (Fuhrman) to work at a secretive facility, she stumbles into a discovery that changes everything: alien intelligences are communicating all around us, right now! But when the mission shifts from listening to talking back, the protocol breaks down. The only problem? We may be far too primitive to understand what they’re saying — and with contact comes consequences, with the survival of our species suddenly very much on the line.

Smart, emotional, and genuinely unsettling — Signal One is the kind of sci-fi that stays with you. With nods to Ex Machina and Contact, we are delighted to present the World Premiere as our opening night film.

Ahead of the screening we are joined by Alexander Milas from Space Rocks, and Stuart Clark, editor of Astronomy Now for a talk about SETI and deep space.
