Please join us for a screening of the Broad Underground Film Series this Friday, 1/20 at 7pm. The screening has been programmed Dr. Lily Woodruff:

Ego & Eco
Friday 1/20, 7pm at The Robin Theatre, REO Town
1105 S Washington Ave, Lansing, MI 48910

Spanning nearly a century, this program presents three films and videos that forefront mythmaking systems through which humans see the natural world. Jean Painlevé’s 1927 silent film The Octopus is a science film conceived in the current of French Surrealism. Robert Smithson’s 1970 Spiral Jetty is a filmic meditation on geological time and entropy. Camille Henrot’s 2013 Grosse Fatigue presents a digital nesting of taxidermy archives and popular culture to suggest a universal origin story for today. These films and videos speak to the ways that our understanding of the natural world is imbricated with passions for self-knowledge and humanist world creation.
