Sometimes it just feels good to look at the stars and feel wonder again, right? That feeling of wonder is infectious in Robert Stone’s documentary portrait of Gentry Lee, chief engineer for planetary exploration at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, with a notable side career in books and TV as the co-developer and producer of the groundbreaking Cosmos series with Carl Sagan and as the co-author of bestselling sci-fi novels with Arthur C. Clarke. Expert raconteur, evangelist for space exploration, and proof positive that science and creativity are not separate lanes, Lee is still a lively figure into his 80s – and he’ll be in person for a Q&A at this special Austin Film Society screening. – Kimberley Jones
