Next up is Steven Spielberg’s jaw-dropping blockbuster, Jurassic World, screening Saturday, April 30th at 3 pm & 7 pm with world renowned Paleontologist and recipient of the prestigious MacArthur “Genius” Fellowship, Dr. Jack Horner. As scientific adviser on all the Jurassic Park films, Horner also helped inspire the character of Dr. Alan Grant, played by actor Sam Neill. Dr. Horner’s presentation, ‘Indominus Rex: Fact & Fiction of Genetically Engineered Dinosaurs,’ takes a fascinating look at the real science behind designing genetically modified hybrid dinosaurs. Retiring soon as curator of Paleontology at Museum of the Rockies, don’t miss your chance to hear the engaging Dr. Horner on stage for this very special event!
Jurassic World is part of BFS’ participation in the national Science on Screen (SoS) initiative. Funded by a grant from the Coolidge Corner Theatre Foundation and the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation, Bozeman Film Society is one of only 23 independent non-profit cinemas from across the country awarded grants to implement a Science on Screen program.
