Lion Ark

Lion Ark tells the story of an audacious and ambitious animal rescue. It opens in the midst of a campaign to persuade the Bolivian government to outlaw the use of wild animals in circuses; once the law is passed the campaigners have to do battle with the circuses to force them to give up the animals, a total of 24 lions. They then gather the lions from remote Bolivian villages and fly them to sanctuary in the US. The films has been shown at the Raindance, Mill Valley, Hawaii, Denver, San Diego, Virginia, Fort Lauderdale and Mississippi Film Festivals. It won the audience award for ‘Best Documentary’ at the San Diego festival and has been described by critics as “the feel-good movie of the year,” and “a target for this year’s Oscars.”

Quantum Collision: Science & Art Collide

Danceroom Spectroscopy (dS) is part video game, part science visualization, part art installation, and part social experiment. Fusing 3d imaging and rigorous quantum mechanics, dS transforms people into energy fields and lets them wander through the nano-quantum world, where they trigger sounds and images. There’s no limit on the number of “players”, and the more they cooperate, the more engrossing it becomes. Learn more about the science of dS here http://danceroom-spec.com/.
