1.  Fourth Kind FREE Screening

The Fourth Kind    Tue, Nov. 3  8:00 PM  Natural Science Auditorium,

Structured unlike any film before it, The Fourth Kind is a provocative
thriller set in modern-day Nome, Alaska, where mysteriously --- since the
1960s --- a disproportionate number of the population has been reported
missing every year. Despite multiple FBI investigations of the region, the
truth has never been discovered. Here in this remote region, psychologist
Dr. Abigail Tyler (Milla Jovovich) began videotaping sessions with
traumatized patients and unwittingly discovered some of the most disturbing
evidence of alien abduction ever documented. Using never-before-seen
archival footage that is integrated into the film, The Fourth Kind exposes
the terrified revelations of multiple witnesses. Their accounts of being
visited by alien figures all share disturbingly identical details, the
validity of which is investigated throughout the film.
