Deep Rising - Science on Screen at Cameo Cinema
Deep Rising - Science on Screen
DEEP RISING, narrated and executive produced by Jason Momoa, takes viewers on an epic journey from the ocean's depths to the future of sustainable energy. Through awe-inspiring footage of the deep’s most dazzling creatures, this feature-length documentary illuminates the secrets of the deep ocean and how its fate holds the key to our survival. In a riveting tale of geopolitical, corporate and scientific intrigue, DEEP RISING sheds light on the secretive International Seabed Authority (ISA), responsible for nearly half our planet’s surface on the ocean floor, while highlighting the vital need to protect the seabed as the common heritage of humankind and stressing the urgency of responsible choices for future generations.
Q&A following the film with Stephen Palumbi, Professor of Marine Biology, Hopkins Marine Station.
About Stephen Palumbi:
Steve has long been fascinated by how quickly the world around us changes. Work on the genomics of marine organisms tries to focus on basic evolutionary questions but also on practical solutions to questions about how to preserve and protect the diverse life in the sea. Steve has lectured extensively on human-induced evolutionary change, has used genetic detective work to identify whales, seahorses, rockfish and sharks for sale in retail markets, and is developing genomic methods to help find ocean species resistant to climate change. Work at the Hopkins Marine Station focuses on how kelp, sea urchins, abalone and mussels respond to short term environmental changes and to environmental shifts over small spatial scales.
The Science on Screen® grant initiative brings science to cinemas nationwide. The Coolidge Corner Theater's series has enhanced film and scientific literacy with this popular program, which was created in partnership with the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation.
This special SOS program is part of our new Spring event, "Water: Essential to Art and Life," which is made possible by a grant from the County of Napa's Art and Culture Advisory Committee.
