Free Screenings for Ancient Beacons Long for Notice
Film Details
70 minIn 1977, NASA launched two interstellar probes containing “Golden Records” that represented Earth’s life and cultures, intentionally edited to put humanity’s “best face forward.” Robleto’s film revisits the daunting task of representing all of humanity through a single object. What is our moral obligation to a full accounting of our actions—in perpetuity, off-planet, and to beings we have yet to confirm exist?
Directed by: Dario Robleto
Frequently Asked Questions
Are advance screenings really free?+
Yes. Studios and distributors give out free passes to build word of mouth before a film opens. You never pay for the pass itself.
Does a pass guarantee me a seat?+
Usually not. Most screenings are intentionally overbooked so the theater fills up, and seats go first-come, first-served at the door. A pass gets you in line, not a reserved seat.
How early should I arrive?+
Earlier than you think. For big releases, people line up well before showtime. Plan on getting there at least 45-60 minutes early, and earlier for major titles.
How do I get passes on Cinefind?+
Create a free account to see the RSVP link for any screening. Pro members can turn on alerts for films they're watching and Auto-RSVP, so Cinefind can try to claim passes for them as soon as they drop.
What's the difference between an advance screening and a repertory screening?+
Advance screenings happen before a film's release, usually free with a pass. Repertory screenings are showings of already-released or classic films, often ticketed by the theater.
