Aspen Film presents Science on Screen®, a unique film series that allows audiences to experience the intersection of film and science on the big screen. As part of each screening event, expert guest speakers present on timely scientific topics.
The four-part series is presented at the Aspen Film Isis Theatre in Aspen, and additional in-school enrichment is available for local students and teachers. Science on Screen is a nationwide initiative of the Coolidge Corner Theatre with major support from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation.
