“Water, water, everywhere, / Nor any drop to drink,” Samuel Taylor Coleridge famously wrote in The Rime of the Ancient Mariner in 1798. How can we retool survival—for all the Earth’s species—in the age of toxic seas and desertification? These three films delve into hybrid art/science practices to revitalize our ideas about pollution and the wasteland.

PROGRAM LINEUP

Sólo son peces (They're Just Fish)
FILM 12:00 AM EDT

Teslem, Dehba and Jadija work on a fish farm in the Sahrawi refugee camps. Where? Algeria, in the middle of the desert and far from their homeland. There’s no sea there, but they do have fish.

Green Matters
FILM 12:00 AM EDT

In Green Matters, Mia Mäkelä approaches the eutrophication of the Baltic Sea from a new angle. Her experiments with green algae explore their possible use with traditional rug-making techniques.

Guts
FILM 12:00 AM EDT

Guts is an intimate examination of environmental science practice with CLEAR, a feminist, anti-colonial marine plastics lab directed by Dr. Max Liboiron. The film is a look inside the lab and how its members try not only to do good science on plastic pollution, but how they try to change how science is done, period.
