As part of each screening event, expert guest speakers present on timely scientific topics such as Artificial Intelligence, Bionic Exoskeleton Technology, and Women in Science. The series will be presented exclusively at the Aspen Film Isis Theatre in Aspen, with additional in-school enrichment opportunities available for local students and teachers.

Event Details

Human computers, civil rights, space travel – March is Women’s History Month, and what better way to celebrate women in the history of science than to watch Theodore Melfi’s Academy Award®-nominated film, HIDDEN FIGURES. The short film we will feature for our third installment of the series is GIRLS WHO CODE, created by Aspen Film’s summer filmmaking camp participants. We are joined by special guest Nausheen Shah, a visiting particle physicist lecturer at the Aspen Center for Physics, who will be talking about cutting-edge research in physics. Part III of our series coincides with the National Evening of Science on Screen, where grantee theaters simultaneously host Science on Screen events, creating a coast-to-coast offering of thought-provoking programs that pair film screenings with explorations of science, technology, and medicine.
