Short Film Program / Imagine Science Film Festival
Survival is the negotiation of many factors, internal and external, to maintain homeostasis. Modern medicine offers us many interventions, as do psychiatry, nutrition, and other related fields, while late night infomercials and dreams may suggest solutions of a more ambiguous kind. And what is the ‘normal’ point of homeostasis anyway? Are we totally certain or is that too subject to advance or revision? In surveying our physical and mental well-being, this program moves from the birth of the rabies vaccine in 1885 through present disorders on the rise with climate change and then into more speculative territories.
The film program will be followed by the panel discussion Science Documentary as Inspiration or Information. Featuring Greg Boustead(Simons Foundation), Lindsay Blatt (filmmaker, The Most Unknown), Cesar Pesquera (filmmaker, Santa Ana) and Lauren Schwartzman (filmmaker, Dust Rising), moderated by The New School’s Pierre Schwarzer.

The 11th Annual Imagine Science Film Festival takes place October 12-19 in New York City, and all of the events are low cost or free. The festival includes short and feature-length films, live cinema performances, discussions, interactive demonstrations and more taking place at museums, universities and cultural institutions across Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens. Several of the films will be making their U.S. debuts at the festival.
/ Crisis. Entropy. Extinction. This year we look at the high stakes for all life on Earth and beyond. Between nuclear proliferation, species loss and dwindling resources, existence itself is not assured. But for every dystopia, a corresponding utopia may be within reach. It may be a struggle, but the record of all life is that of an eon-spanning fight to stay alive. We’ll feature tumultuous natural history and startling feats of adaptation. Apoptosis versus immortal cell lines. Half-lives and radical life extension. The deaths of stars and extraordinary paths to SURVIVAL. /
