Duncan Jones’s acclaimed film Moon is being screened on December 14 at the Cinema Room at Spazju Kreattiv, St James Cavalier, Valletta as part of the ĊineXjenza series of events.

The film talks about Sam Bell, who experiences a personal crisis nearing the end of a three-year solitary period working on the moon together with his computer Gerty. With no direct communication between the station and Earth, and only Gerty to tend to his daily needs he begins to hallucinate.  After getting into an accident, he discovers something that will make him attempt to get back to Earth alone, while questioning his own sanity.

ĊineXjenza aims to spark discussion on science topics raised in films. Following the screening of Moon, guest speakers Jackson Levi Said and Edward Duca from the University of Malta will initiate a discussion on astrophysics and human cloning.  Duca is a geneticist, while Said a cosmologist.

CineXjenza is supported by the Steam and Erasmus+. It is run by the Malta Chamber of Scientists, Spazju Kreattiv and S-Cubed.
