Experimentations 19 | The Universe in a Grain Sand

Los Angeles premiere!

Conversation following the screening with filmmakers Mark Levinson and Kate Balsley in person and others to be announced

A meditation by the award-winning filmmaker/physicist Mark Levinson (Particle Fever) on how we make sense of the world. Juxtaposing scientific developments with the works of artists, the visually rich film explores how both scientists and artists use their understanding of nature to create tools and representations to probe the deepest mysteries of the universe. This art-film crossed with creative documentary takes us on a journey from experimental film to the frontiers of quantum computing. Preceded by a few of the short experimental films incorporated in the feature by Levinson as the visual corollaries to points being made in the film. We’re delighted that one of these makers, Kate Balsley, will join us in person with two of her beautiful films.
