11.01.2022 This compelling conversation will take cues from Spaceship Earth (2020) and Biosphere 2, bringing together leaders from the realms of art and science. We’ll be taking a close look at the role of art mediating science, technology and space exploration, as our panel facilitates ideas for reimagining worlds that make up a vision of humanity expanding into the wider universe. Our speakers will give us an insight into the complexities of closed loop ecosystems, people’s psychologies and experiences in extreme environments, and collaborative events/experiments/projects at the intersection of science, art and technology happening around the world. This event is supported by Science Gallery Melbourne.

10.01.2022 *Giveaway is now closed* The Melbourne Women in Film Festival is back for its 5th year showcasing and supporting women and gender diverse filmmaking in cinemas and online for the first time. Our friends at MWFF are offering our followers the chance to win one Double Pass to The Weather Diaries screening at Kino Cinemas this Sat 20th Feb at 6.30pm (including a Q&A with filmmaker Kathy Drayton!). Simply tag a friend below for the chance to win! ... The Weather Diaries is a feature documentary made by a mother concerned about the future for her daughter: a musician emerging in the shadow of the twin threats of climate change and mass extinction. Filmed over 6 years, this extraordinary documentary reaches its climax in 2020, as temperatures rise, bushfires rage, and the flying foxes that usually soar over Sydney die in record numbers. Ruminating on our failure to understand the effects of climate change and the implications for the future generation, The Weather Diaries is a story both personal and political. Running from Feb 17-24, you can check out the full program and get your tickets at www.mwff.org.au #morethan #morethanathome #environmentalfilm #documentary #melbournefilm
