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 such as Artificial Intelligence, Bionic Exoskeleton Technology, and Women in Science.
The three-part series is presented at the Aspen Film Isis Theatre in Aspen with additional in-school enrichment 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. Our partners for the series include aiEDU, Aspen Center for Physics, Aspen Science Center, Bridging Bionics, The Isaacson School at Colorado Mountain College, and Mountain Chalet Aspen.
This evening’s selected films, feature documentary, THE CRASH REEL and short film, TREVOR KENNISON – DAY ONE, portray the frailties of our physical bodies and the ways loved ones, nature, and, technology can help one to overcome a life-threatening injury and continue to lead a resilient life. Our guest Amanda Boxtel will talk with THE CRASH REEL director, Lucy Walker, about the exoskeleton technology that has allowed her to walk again after a skiing accident that resulted in a spinal cord injury. She is the founder of Bridging Bionics with a mission to help individuals who have neurological mobility impairments regain mobility and walk again.
