SUMMARY:Observer Film Screening
DESCRIPTION:At the height of the pandemic\, many scientists were concerned about how their work had become so divisive and how public trust in science had eroded. At the same time\, many admitted that the very things that first drew them to science—the joy of discovery\, the awe of understanding the world\, the endless curiosity—had been overshadowed by the pressures of grants and career demands. We asked ourselves: How could we make a film that speaks to this moment? How could we honor science in a way that reconnects it to the broader human experience?Register Here \n\n\n\n\nIAN CHENEY BIO\nIan Cheney is a documentary filmmaker. He received bachelor’s & master’s degrees from Yale and a MFA in filmmaking from the Vermont College of Fine Arts. His twelve feature-length films prior to Observer (2025) include King Corn (2007)\, The City Dark (2010)\, The Search for General Tso (2014)\, The Most Unknown (2018)\, Picture a Scientist (2020)\, The Arc of Oblivion (2023) and  Shelf Life (2024).
