Reminder TONIGHT: "They're here already! You're next! You're next!"
7pm, Umney Theatre, Robinson College, Cambridge, Grange Road (CB3 9AN)
As subversive today as when it was first released, this true science
fiction classic oozed Cold War paranoia and conformism as it introduced
audiences to the terrifying prospect of a silent, extraterrestrial takeover
by emotionless, vegetal 'pod people'.
Introduced and with discussion led by David A. Kirby (University of
Manchester).
Free admission. All welcome.
Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956) is the second of six events the
series 'Reproduction on Film: Outlaws', put on by the Generation to
Reproduction programme with funding from the Wellcome Trust.
