VES Members and a Guest are Invited to Attend the Art Directors Guild Screening of PLANET OF THE APES (1968) followed by a conversation with Production Designer Bill Creber moderated by ADG Film Society Co-Chair John Muto..

Production Designer William Creber, nominated for three Oscars, is virtually the last of the Golden Age Production Designers. He is best known for his designs for PLANET OF THE APES as well as THE POSEIDEN ADVENTURE and THE TOWERING INFERNO, among many others.
Celebrating its 50th Anniversary as a science-fiction classic, PLANET OF THE APES garnered two Oscar-nominations and combines sensational high adventure, “thinking man’s” science fiction, and social commentary.
The film became a critical and commercial hit, and has spawned three sequels, a television show, a 90s remake, three acclaimed re-imaginings and a myriad of product tie-ins. William Creber’s sets for the original film, principally Ape City, set a high bar and have not aged a day in fifty years.
PLANET OF THE APES was scripted by Rod Serling, famed creator of THE TWILIGHT ZONE, and directed by Oscar-winner Franklin J. Schaffner (LIONHEART, PAPILLON and PATTON).
PLANET OF THE APES maroons three astronauts on a desolate wasteland planet. Finding their way to a lush valley they encounter a tribe of mute, backward humans just as they are suddenly attacked by fierce, rifle-carrying gorillas on horseback — a human hunting expedition.
Taylor (Charlton Heston), the lead astronaut, is injured in the attack; now rendered mute, he is taken to a nightmarish Ape City and thrown into a human zoo. Surrounded by apes walking upright and speaking English, Taylor is befriended by a sympathetic chimpanzee scientist — whom he hopes might help him escape.

Dr. Bruce Damer - Origin of Life/Future in Space
2018-06-29 13:00 - 14:00
The Visual Effects Society of NZ and Weta Workshop are pleased to present a members-only event with Dr Bruce Damer this Friday, 29 June.

An Origin of Life in Hot Springs:
New science from the lab, the field and its impact on the search for life beyond Earth

1-2pm

Friday, 29 June

WETA WORKSHOP (roundabout)

#129 Park Road

Miramar

RSVP HERE

Discoveries in some of the oldest landscapes on Earth preserving evidence for life, laboratory experimental evidence and computational models have all converged to suggest that life may have begun not deep in the oceans but on land, in fluctuating hot spring pools. Charles Darwin’s 1871 intuition that life began in a “warm little pond” may be proven right if science successfully tests this novel “Hot Spring Hypothesis” and creates an evolving artificial chemical form of pre-life called the “progenote”. The hypothesis is being used by researchers and NASA to decide where and how to look for evidence for past life on Mars in the Mars 2020 rover mission. This new thinking also guides consideration of the key questions of how widespread life might be in the universe.

Dr Seth Shostak, SETI - Why Haven't We Found ET?
2018-06-29 19:00 - 21:00
What is life? Are we alone in the universe? What is the future of humankind?
Dr Seth Shostak, Senior Astronomer at the SETI Institute in California,
will present a special talk for the Visual Effects Society of NZ, looking at the search for evidence of intelligent life elsewhere.

RSVP HERE

Friday, 29 June
7-9pm
Camperdown Cinema
VES Members: FREE
Non-Members: $10

It’s been nearly six decades since Frank Drake conducted the first, modern experiment to eavesdrop on signals from cosmic beings. Many searches have been undertaken since, but the bottom line is that we still haven’t heard a peep from the aliens. Does that mean that we’re the smartest things in this part of the universe, or that they’ve decided to deliberately keep a low profile?

In this fascinating talk, Dr Shostak looks at the modern efforts to discover other intelligence in the universe and what – if anything – our failure might be telling us.

Dr Shostak has also appeared on The Colbert Report, Star Trek, and the 2008 remake ofThe Day the Earth Stood Still.
