BZN DOC: A Life Illuminated
April 9 @ 7:00pm
The Bozeman Doc Series continues on Thursday, April 9th, at 7pm at the Emerson, with the brilliant new doc, A Life Illuminated. This screening is being co-presented by the Lone Peak Film Festival.
A Life Illuminated follows trailblazing marine biologist Dr. Edie Widder—one of the first women in her field and one of the first humans to explore the ocean’s twilight zone—as she descends 3,300 feet into the ocean’s darkest depths. From capturing the first-ever footage of the elusive giant squid to unveiling the glowing mysteries of deep-sea bioluminescence, Edie embarks on her most daring quest yet: to document a bioluminescent phenomenon that could forever change how we understand life on Earth.
“An incredible film…It takes us to one of the most extreme places on Earth, it reveals previously unseen phenomena, it takes us on the journey of scientific discovery, and it is an inspiration…This is a story of awe and wonder, backed by perseverance, tenacity, and human ingenuity.” Film Threat
Lone Peak Film Festival director Daniel Glick will attend and share stories of the festival’s successful first edition and info about the upcoming second year of the new Big Sky-based festival.
