IN THE BLINK OF AN EYE: FILM PREMIERE (SEARCHLIGHT)

Three storylines, spanning thousands of years, intersect and reflect on hope, connection, and the circle of life.

From the 2017 Black List script by Colby Day (Spaceman), Andrew Stanton (Wall-E, Finding Nemo) constructs an elegantly interwoven triptych that contemplates the essence of humanity across three moments in time. A Neanderthal family, displaced from their home, struggles to survive, protect the children, and use primitive tools. In the present day, Claire (Rashida Jones), a driven post-grad anthropologist studying ancient proto-human remains, begins a relationship with a fellow student, Greg (Daveed Diggs). And two centuries later, on a spaceship bound for a distant planet, Coakley (Kate McKinnon) and a sentient onboard computer confront a disease afflicting the ship's oxygen-producing plants. The artful, poetic way the film's storylines intersect creates a profound, philosophical meditation on how we experience love, loss (of parents and children), mortality and the need for connection - with each other, the natural world, and technology - regardless of our time.
