Discovering Tomorrow

#SFFDiscoveringTomorrow
Tuesday, January 28, 2:00 p.m.–3:30 p.m.
Filmmaker Lodge, 550 Main St. (2nd floor)
Open to Festival credential holders

Through films like Tesla, Radioactive, The Current War, The Aeronauts, Hidden Figures, and First Man, period science is having a heyday in film and television. Practicing the science of yesteryear, visionary scientists, inventors, and outliers—from Curie to Tesla—wrestled with competition, derision, entrenched beliefs, and discrimination in order to imagine the possibilities of tomorrow. Moderated by Valerie Thompson (Science magazine) with Ethan Hawke (Tesla), James Schuck (physicist and mechanical engineer, professor at Columbia University), Danijela Cabric (professor of electrical engineering at UCLA), and Sarah Treem.

Supported by the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation

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.
