SCIENCE. ART. FILM is a new series that uncovers wacky, weird and wonderful facets of science and art in films – in discussion with artists and ANU scholars from different disciplines.
Director Alfonso Cuarón (Y Tu Mamá También, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban, Gravity) adapted the novel by PD James to present a miserable future world where humanity has disintegrated into shabby desperation and urban warfare.
‘Children of Men may be something of a bummer, but it’s the kind of glorious bummer that lifts you to the rafters, transporting you with the greatness of its filmmaking.’ – The New York Times
Join us after the film for a fascinating discussion on key themes in the film – from population projections and migration to protest cultures and collapsing societies.
