How do technology and art bring us closer to understanding the world? The Science New Wave Festival kicks off its 17th year with the U.S. premiere of a film that gets to the core of why we’re here. Deftly intertwining a history of computation with a broad survey of experimental cinema, physicist and filmmaker Mark Levinson explores how experimentation in film and science together reshape our ability to represent and comprehend the universe at its most fundamental level.
The Universe in a Grain of Sand (Mark Alan Levinson | United States | 2024 | 73 min) U.S. Premiere (only in theaters)
Join us Friday, October 18 to kick off the festival in the Museum of the Moving Image's aptly futuristic Redstone Theater.
Following the screening, we'll dig even deeper with a conversation between director Mark Levinson, and two of the many creators who appear in the film, filmmaker Erin Espelie and IBM's Director of Research Dario Gil, moderated by neuroscientist Heather Berlin.
Afterwards, join us for a reception to continue the discussion!
