A 42-minute audio-visual experience presented by world renowned musical polymath Steven Wilson, The Overview takes the listener on a Kubrickian journey into the endless darkness of outer space via a breathtakingly eclectic new progressive rock opus.
The Overview is based on the overview effect where astronauts who seeing the Earth from space undergo a transformative cognitive shift. Some experience an overwhelming appreciation and perception of the planet's beauty, while others see the Earth truly for what it is – insignificant and lost in the vastness of space, the human race as its primary, troubled species.
As a reflection of that, longtime Wilson collaborator Miles Skarin's film presents a constantly evolving series of images documenting the vastness of space and the almost imperceptibly tiny part of it that the human race occupies.
This unique cinema event will represent the first immersive public presentation of The Overview anywhere in the world.
Please join us for this special presentation followed by an in person Q&A with Steven Wilson and Alex Milas; Space Rocks founder, Miho Janvier; astrophysicist and solar physicist at The European Space Agency, Mark McCaughrean; senior scientific advisor for human and robotic exploration at the European Space Agency (retired), and James Webb Space Telescope mission scientist & professor at the Max Planck institute.
