MUMBAI: As a part of celebrating the 30th anniversary of Steven Spielberg‘s science-fiction masterpiece ET: The Extra-Terrestrial, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has arranged a special screening.
The Science and Technology Council of the Academy has teamed up with the Palo Alto International Film Festival (PAIFF) to present a screening of the 1992 release on 28 September at the Outdoor Festival Village Stage in Palo Alto, it is understood.
Termed as Spielberg‘s "most personal film" and considered by many as a benchmark in the science fiction genre, ET continues to delight audiences with its emotional story of the intense relationship between the young Elliott (Henry Thomas) and the lovable alien who is trying to return to his home planet.
The film, also starring Dee Wallace, Robert MacNaughton, Drew Barrymore, and Peter Coyote in prominent roles, was nominated for nine Academy Awards but won four.
