Description

Guest curator Soumyaa Kapil Behrens and Oddball Films present Eau de Vie and Other Aquatic Tales, an evening of films on H2O and other fluid adventures. Submerge yourself in these sojourns - some scientific, some silly, and all a little slippery. The night would not be complete without an underwater visit from the most important filmmaker to ever traverse the seas: The Green Sea Turtle With Jacques Cousteau (1970) visits with one of our oldest marine friends, a 400lb turtle. Journey along the edge of the earth with Jay Coggeshall as he searches for a connection with a culture of people who live deep within the Arctic Mirror (1977). Aqua Frolics (1950) delights with a series of absurd vignettes all requiring you to hold your breath and Liquid Air (1950) revisits the popular science series, “John Kieran’s Kaleidoscope”, with experimental demos and discussions. Journal Films Inc. brings us Geysers, Lava and Hotspots and Water (1961), both use beautiful animation and live action to explain, educate and excite audiences about the natural and necessary phenomena of water and it various incarnations on earth. And, Living Things in a Drop of Water turns the lens closer; taking a myopic look at the cellular party that goes on in this teeny tiny unit of life.
