ET -- The Extra-Terrestrial

ET -- The Extra-Terrestrial

21 Jun 2026 - 26 Aug 2026

For the 20th anniversary of this fable about a peaceful alien marooned on Earth, Spielberg dusted off his beloved original and re-released it in a new and improved form featuring digital tinkering (ET's eyes, for example, have been 'enhanced' to make him appear more alien) and never before screened scenes such as ET having a bath. But most interesting is the excision of all the firearms - the American authorities chasing ET and his human friend Elliot are now armed with nothing more threatening than mobile phones. There's something a bit precious about this kind of cleansing of the film. Still, as a fantasy adventure for kids and 'adult kids' alike, 'ET' remains some kind of modern classic.

Educators Morning & Artist Tour

Educators Morning & Artist Tour

Do you work with young people and are interested in creative storytelling? Join artist Sahjan Kooner and FACT's Learning Team for an informal tour and chat in the new exhibition (darkforest) The Zone of Ghosts , created in collaboration with young people aged 12-19. A recorded conversation between Sahjan and FACT's Learning Team will be added to the space, reflecting on their work with young people. Guided by the belief that imagination is our most important form of technology, Sahjan's new exhibition (darkforest) The Zone of Ghosts invites us into a world created in collaboration with young people aged 12-19 from Liverpool and Leigh. Within the gallery, a dark forest grows, and imagined artefacts made by the young people sit within the walls of an infinity-symbol-shaped structure. On one side, a digital and tabletop game can be played, and on the other, a campfire creates space to reflect and imagine how different futures might be made. This is a great chance for fellow learning teams, academics, artists, and educators working with storytelling, to talk to the artist about how they created worlds, stories, and games with young people. Complimentary pastries and hot drinks will be provided.
