The Art of Getting Science Right

Tuesday, January 26, 2:00 p.m.
Filmmaker Lodge
#SFFonScience

Movies play an enormous role in the popular perception of science and its practitioners (see: cantankerous old man sporting lab coat and projectile white hair). But what does it mean to “get it right,” particularly in a new era of great science communication—one that captivates the public imagination with more complex understandings of science? Join Mike Cahill (Another Earth, I Origins), Shane Carruth (Primer, Upstream Color), Clifford Johnson (professor of physics, University of Southern California), Ting Wu (professor of genetics, Harvard University), and moderator Kerry Bishé (Halt and Catch Fire) in exploring what lies between accuracy and artifice.

As you use our Online Archives, please understand that the information presented from Festivals, Labs, and other activities is taken directly from official publications from each year. While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications. Each entry in the Online Archives is meant as a historical record of a particular film, play, or project at the time of its involvement with Sundance Institute. For this reason, we can only amend an entry if a name is misspelled, or if the entry does not correctly reflect the original publication.
