Film Premiere: Arrows Of Time At Exploratorium

Join award-winning artist and filmmaker Ken McMullen for a unique presentation of films engaging ideas at the forefront of science and culture on Sunday, April 29 at 2pm at the Exploratorium, a co-presentation with the San Francisco International Film Festival.

Shot on location at the European Laboratory for Nuclear Research (CERN), Art, Poetry and Particle Physics (2004, 50 min.) documents an extraordinary series of discussions and collaborations between cultural critic John Berger and physicists John March Russell and Michael Doser.

In its San Francisco premier, Arrows of Time (2007) puts new ideas into practice by offering a "live cinema" experience combining diary footage from the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) with poetry and commentary from cultural figures such as the artist Joseph Beuys and the philosopher Jacques Derrida.

Total running time is approximately 2 hours. Both films are included in the price of admission to the Exploratorium. -- www.exploratorium.edu
