The Science & Entertainment Exchange
(http://scienceandentertainmentexchange.org/
[http://scienceandentertainmentexchange.org/]) presents a talk-back
for the Sundance award-winning film "Son of MONARCHS", which explores
issues of identity, migration, and transfiguration."From
writer/director Alexis Gambis comes the poetic Sundance award-winning
film, Son of Monarchs . Tracing the journey of a Mexican butterfly
biologist as he travels from New York to his hometown nestled in the
majestic butterfly forests of Michoacán, the film deftly explores
issues of identity, migration, and transfiguration. Forced to confront
past traumas, sparking a personal and spiritual metamorphosis, he
gradually uncovers the fluid boundaries that unite past and present
and all living things. Join us for a conversation with the filmmaker
to explore this multilayered portrait of a scientist’s growth and
self-discovery. The talk-back will also feature biologist Nipam Patel
and virologist Elodie Ghedin, both of whom served as science
consultants for the film, moderated by Carla Easter from the
Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History."
