Gattaca - Edinburgh Festival Guide

‘In the not so distant future’, DNA determines a person’s role and status in society. Vincent (Ethan Hawke, who stars with Uma Thurman and Jude Law) was born with a genetic make-up which, in this futuristic world, classifies him as an underclass.

ESRC’s Professor Steven Yearley will explore the implications after the screening of this stylish modern classic.
