Writer-director Michael Madsen and Professor Chris Welch (International Space University) talk about The Visit (2015), a documentary-style sci-fi film which imagines mankind’s first contact with alien life. Their expansive discussion touches on the limits of human understanding, nuclear contamination in the future and the anxiety the unknown inspires in us.
