Time Travel Not Guaranteed, Movie & Science Talk

Roger Ebert wrote of this terrific little film:

“Few descriptions of ‘Safety Not Guaranteed’ will do it justice. It’s a more ambitious and touching movie than seems possible.”

Time travel is a wonderful idea.  Come explore that wonder while watching what Mr. Ebert called “a more ambitious and touching movie than seems possible.”

Your evening begins at 6:30 in the lounge of San Francisco’s luxurious Variety Preview Theater with great conversation and a cash bar.  SF in SF will be serving a special Deadline cocktail, as a nod to to the time travel novels of author Connie Willis.

Then, at 7:30, take limitless free popcorn to plush theater seating for a special screening of 2012’s “Safety Not Guaranteed” (rated 91% FRESH by Rotten Tomatoes).

Physicist/Sci-Fi Author Ken Wharton

Finally, at about 9 o’clock, physicist and sci-fi author Ken Wharton will help us examine the logic — and illogic — of time travel.  Dr. Wharton is Professor of Physics and Astronomy at San Jose State University.  He is also author of “Divine Intervention,” earning the Special Citation for the Philip K. Dick Award in 2001.

All proceeds benefit Variety Children’s Charity of Northern California and Wonderfest, the Bay Area Beacon of Science.
