The Skeptics are attending a Film Screening

Join the Madison Skeptics this weekend for a free film screening. This is part of the Tales from Planet Earth environmental film festival with events taking place all over the UW Madison campus.

What?

Emily Hubley Retrospective and Animating Science
Emily Hubley, with Judith Helfand, Alex Rivera, Ian Cheney and Shawn Rosenheim (90 min.)

How do filmmakers translate complex scientific and technical ideas into easy-to-grasp, compelling cinema? Increasingly, they are turning to the work of talented animators like Emily Hubley (Blue Vinyl, What's on Your Plate?, Hedwig and the Angry Inch, and Toe Tactic), who can use a more artistic and free-form approach than is possible in pure narration or scientific charts and graphs. In this freewheeling conversation, filmmakers Judith Helfand, Alex Rivera, Ian Cheney, and Shawn Rosenheim will join Hubley in discussing the promises and pitfalls of animating science and how to reach the public when your subject starts to turn complex.

Where?

Madison Museum of Contemporary Art
227 State St., Madison, WI 53703
Films will be screened in the museum's state-of-the-art 225-seat lecture hall.

The MMoCA is adjacent to the Overture Center for the Arts, in the 200 block of State Street, between Johnson and Dayton. The closest public parking is in the State Street Capitol and Overture Center ramps.

When?
Sunday, November 8, 2:00 pm

The Skeptics will gather at the entrance to the Museum at 1:45pm and will head inside to secure seats soon after. After the film is over, we will adjourn to a nearby restaurant for our traditional food, drink, and skeptical talk.
