Description
Guest Curator Soumyaa Kapil Behrens and Oddball Films present Life On Earth - an evening of strange and wonderful films depicting the ethereal condition of our home planet. Includes haunting, and stylized animations -- with Beyond the Stars: A Space Story (1981) by Karla Kuskin, Irra and Don Duga. Works from the ground up like Ethiopia (1986) show an astounding natural world by award winning director, Robin Lehman and Two Grasslands: Texas and Iran (1970) keenly compares cultural and economic lives of people living off similar lands but very different cultures. Chasing the Tornado (1987) explores these giant forces as scientists race to track them down and Eclipse demonstrates the delicate dance between the sun, the moon and planet earth including footage from the rare 1937 total solar eclipse event in Japan. Peppered with shorts on other earthly elements like rain and winter geysers, this show is sure to be full of surprising feasts for the eyes and a sensory journey of what its like to take refuge on the third rock from the sun.More Info
