Southern Circuit Small Town Universe
Katie Dellamaggiore
Small Town Universe paints an intimate and captivating portrait of life in Green Bank, West Virginia, home to the world's most sensitive radio telescope and the only U.S. town where Wi-Fi and cell phones are banned. In this uniquely radio-quiet community, scientists use the telescope to search for signs of extraterrestrial intelligence and advance the field of radio astronomy while residents navigate through pivotal moments of existence, forming deep connections with the universe, science, and one another. Join us for a Q&A with the film's director, Katie Dellamaggiore after the screening.
