SUMMARY:Science on Screen®: HER - What It Means to Be Human - with special guest Janna Levin
DESCRIPTION:HER\nwith extended introduction by special guest\nJanna Levin \nPart of the SCIENCE ON SCREEN® Series\nAn initiative of the Coolidge Corner Theatre\, in partnership with the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation \n\n\nHER\nSpike Jonze\, 2013\, 126 min\nWith: Joaquin Phoenix\, Scarlett Johansson\, Amy Adams\, Rooney Mara \n\n\n\n\n\nWhat happens when artificial intelligence learns to love\, and evolve beyond us? Released in 2013\, Her was strikingly ahead of its time\, anticipating today’s world of AI companions\, chatbots\, and machine-mediated intimacy. Set in a near-future Los Angeles\, the film follows a lonely writer who begins an intimate relationship with an advanced operating system designed to meet his every emotional need. As their bond deepens\, the film turns questions of artificial intelligence\, consciousness\, and human-computer interaction into a moving meditation on how machine learning and emotional algorithms reshape what it means to be human.  \nAstrophysicist Janna Levin will introduce the film with a reflection on our rapidly evolving acceptance of AI in all dimensions of our lives and the spiraling of our reality towards Spike Jonze’s prescient vision of Her. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n \nGuest Speaker:\nJanna Levin:\nJanna Levin is a cosmologist\, author\, and cultural force at the intersection of science and art. A professor of physics at Barnard College\, Guggenheim Fellow\, and presenter of PBS’s NOVA\, she bridges science and philosophy. Her work on black holes and gravitational waves has reshaped how we understand the universe\, and how we tell its stories. \nTickets: (including $5 Symphony Space facility fee added at checkout)\n$12/adult\n$10/seniors & students\n$8/Community partner with code \nBUY TICKETS HERE \nThis program is supported\, in part\, by public funds from the NYC Department of Youth and Community Development (DYCD) in partnership with the City Council and the office of NY City Councilperson Shaun Abreu. \n\nWith the support of Thomas Campbell Jackson and the Brandt Jackson Foundation. \n\nCo-sponsors: BAiP\, LiLY\, W. 90s Neighborhood Assn.\, W. 102nd & 103rd Streets Block Assn.\, W. 104th St. Block Assn.

SUMMARY:Science on Screen®: BOMBSHELL: THE HEDY LAMARR STORY - Hollywood Glamour Meets Hardcore Engineering - with special guest Sarah Rose Siskind
DESCRIPTION:BOMBSHELL:\nTHE HEDY LAMARR STORY\nwith extended introduction by special guest Sarah Rose Siskind \nPart of the SCIENCE ON SCREEN® Series\nAn initiative of the Coolidge Corner Theatre\, in partnership with the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation \nBOMBSHELL: THE HEDY LAMARR STORY\nAlexandra Dean\, 2017\, 89 min\, documentary \n\nHollywood glamour meets hardcore engineering. Bombshell uncovers how screen legend Hedy Lamarr co-invented frequency-hopping technology\, a radical idea that laid the groundwork for Wi-Fi\, Bluetooth\, and GPS\, yet remained largely forgotten and unrecognized for decades. This 2017 documentary is a thrilling reminder that scientific innovation can come from the most unexpected minds\, and that credit is often unevenly distributed. \nScience comedian Sarah Rose Siskind will offer a brief\, entertaining meditation on Hedy Lamarr and her genius. \n\n \nGuest Speaker:\nSarah Rose Siskind \nSarah Rose Siskind is a science comedy writer who turns complex ideas into laughs and explores the intersections of technology\, gender\, and pop culture.

SUMMARY:Science on Screen®: HIDDEN FIGURES - Black Women Bending Space and Time - with special guest Dr. Moiya McTier
DESCRIPTION:HIDDEN FIGURES\nwith extended introduction by special guest\nDr. Moiya McTier\nPart of the SCIENCE ON SCREEN®  Series\nAn initiative of the Coolidge Corner Theater in partnership with the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation \n\n\nHIDDEN FIGURES\nTheodore Melfi\, 2016\, 127 min\nWith: Taraji P. Henson\, Octavia Spencer\, Janelle Monáe\, Kevin Costner \nBefore rockets could break the sound barrier\, Black women mathematicians were already bending space and time. Hidden Figures follows the behind-the-scenes race to launch astronaut John Glenn into orbit\, powered by the extraordinary work and forgotten brilliance of Katherine Johnson\, Dorothy Vaughan\, and Mary Jackson. As NASA hurtles toward the Space Age in the late 50s and 60s\, orbital mechanics\, hand-calculated trajectories\, and razor-sharp math become tools of both scientific triumph and social change. \nAstrophysicist Dr. Moiya McTier will introduce the film and speak about these first Black women who made waves in their fields\, and\, more importantly\, about those who followed. This introduction will serve as an epilogue to the film\, celebrating the brilliant women who were able to follow on the lightly trodden paths of Mary Jackson\, Dorothy Vaughan\, and Katherine Johnson. \nGuest Speaker: Dr. Moiya McTier \nDr. Moiya McTier is an astrophysicist\, science communicator\, and folklorist\, described as a “folklorist to the stars\, and astrophysicist to the folks.” Sitting at the intersection of science and storytelling\, fact and fiction\, complex concepts and chaotic creativity\, she is known for her sharp wit and infectious enthusiasm\, connecting complex science to history\, race\, and the joy of discovery. \n\n\n\n\n\nTickets: (including $5 Symphony Space Facility Fee added at checkout)\n$12/adult\n$10/seniors & students\n$8/Community partner with code \nBUY TICKETS HERE \nThis program is supported\, in part\, by public funds from the NYC Department of Youth and Community Development (DYCD) in partnership with the City Council and the office of NY City Councilperson Shaun Abreu. \nWith the support of Thomas Campbell Jackson and the Brandt Jackson Foundation. \n\nCo-sponsors: BAiP\, LiLY\, W. 90s Neighborhood Assn.\, W. 102nd & 103rd Streets Block Assn.\, W. 104th St. Block Assn.
