Film Club Members are invited to a special screening of Steven Spielberg’s Close Encounters of the Third Kind in honor of the late Terri Garr!

During a mysterious blackout, Indiana family man Roy Neary (Richard Dreyfuss) has a strange encounter with loud, colorfully-lit UFOs. Shaken by the experience, he finds himself unable to return to normal life and becomes obsessed with a recurring mental image of a flat tower-shaped object. All the while, authorities scramble to document similar incidents across the world and determine what message – if any – is being relayed to humanity.

Acclaimed for its thought-provoking narrative as well as its stunning visuals, Close Encounters of the Third Kind captures Spielberg at the height of his powers.
