[NEW YORK, NY — January 29] New York Women in Film & Television (NYWIFT is proud to present the Science in Motion Screening Series in partnership with BAM (Brooklyn Academy of Music), a collection of groundbreaking contemporary films that delve into science and technology in the modern world. These urgent documentaries and empowering fictions take us from the depths of outer space to the on-the-ground action of a Hasidic women-run ambulance corps and beyond. Filmmaker Q&As will follow each screening.
The films will play Tuesdays at 7 PM at BAM’s Peter J. Sharp Building (Lafayette Ave, Brooklyn, 11217) February 6 through March 12, 2024. The program is free and open to the public, presented in partnership with the National Science Foundation (NSF) with support from the National Endowment for the Arts (NEA).
“Since early childhood I have been fascinated by the intersection of STEM and the media, exploring how film can expose us to all of the innovations science has to offer. We at NYWIFT are thrilled to offer this remarkable roster of films with the New York City community, and we appreciate the partnership of BAM, the NSF, and the NEA for helping to bring this series to lift off,” said NYWIFT CEO Cynthia Lopez.
