Our screening on 16 May is the latest in our discussion series, In the Works, hosted by Oscar nominated composer Gary Yershon. Gary's guest is the two-time Academy Award winning sound production mixer, Chris Munro.
Sandra Bullock and George Clooney star in this heart-pounding thriller written, directed, and produced by Alfonso Cuarón, and set in the infinite and unforgiving realm of deep space. Bullock plays a medical engineer on her first shuttle mission, with Clooney as a veteran astronaut in command of his last flight before retiring. But on a seemingly routine spacewalk, disaster strikes. The shuttle is destroyed, leaving the two completely alone - tethered to nothing but each other and spiraling out into the blackness. The deafening silence tells them they have lost any link to Earth, and any chance for rescue. As fear turns to panic, every gulp of air eats away at what little oxygen is left. But the only way home may be to go further out into the terrifying expanse of space.
