Description
The Art and Science of Arrival by Tanya Lapointe is a comprehensive retrospective companion book to the critically acclaimed film Arrival. This lavish hardback volume recounts the genesis of this modern classic, from its origins in Ted Chiang's Hugo-nominated short story The Story of Your Life to its premiere in Venice and subsequent Academy Award nominations. The book explores the film's concept of non-linear time and showcases remarkable concept art that brought the aliens, their ships, and their logogram language to life. With behind-the-scenes photography and interviews with key creative and scientific team members, this volume offers a unique insight into the making of Arrival. Featuring concept art, sketches, and photographs, The Art and Science of Arrival is a must-have for fans of the film and those interested in science fiction, linguistics, and the intersection of art and science.
