I’ll Be Your Mirror: The Science of Ourselves

It's been said of mirrors, "Take a look at yourself, and then make a change (na na na . . .)." In science, some pretty unusual things have led us to big discoveries about ourselves. From prairie voles and chimps to parallel universes and rock 'n' roll music, you'd be surprised how much we learn about us by looking at them. What other mirrors are out there? Dr. Sean Carroll (Cal Tech, author of From Eternity to Here), Dr. Bradley Greger (University of Utah), and filmmakers Jon Amiel (Creation), Mike Cahill (Another Earth), and Jim Kohlberg (The Music Never Stopped) join moderator Paula Apsell (Senior Executive Producer, NOVA) to share their thoughts on the big questions and on good and bad science in movies.

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.
