Short Film program
Signals, Transmissions, Voices
10.16 | Tuesday, 7:30 | Spectacle Theater
Glitching cats, phone sex with aliens, crystal healing, the mysterious universe. Each year, we reserve some of the wildest and most outré takes on scientific filmmaking for an intimate program at Spectacle Theater. Not so incidentally, many become favorites. These films, though rooted in scientific principles, transform traditional sci-film expectations with abstracted narratives, form-breaking documentary concepts, mind-bending visuals, and other essential experiments at the outer edges of our festival program. This year we will investigate communication in all its forms.
