Creation + Q&A

CFF-PG certification
MAIN FEATURES / PREVIEW SCREENING / SCIENCE ON SCREEN
Director: Jon Amiel. Starring: Paul Bettany, Jeremy Northam, Jennifer Connelly, Toby Jones.
UK, 2009. 110 mins.
CREATION is the true story of the life of Charles Darwin and the single most explosive idea in history. Told in a collage of scenes from the past and present, laced with stories of exotic animals and the dark dreams of a troubled mind, CREATION is part ghost story, part psychological thriller, part love story. Paul Bettany (MASTER AND COMMANDER, A BEAUTIFUL MIND) stars as a young Charles Darwin writing On the Origin of Species. His theory would turn the world upside down and challenge the love of his deeply religious wife, played by real life partner and Oscar-winner Jennifer Connelly. Coming in the year of the bicentenary of Darwin’s birth – as well as the 150th anniversary of the publication of On the Origin of Species – the film celebrates ideas that remain controversial to this day.

➜ We are delighted to welcome director Jon Amiel and screenwriter Randal Keynes for a Q&A following the screening.
