Matters of Controversy
August 5, 7pm
Come see the outstanding new film
"The Sea Change"
with graduate students from SCRIPPS Institute of Oceanography
Tesa Pierce and Carolina Behe
who will lead audience participation following screening.
A Sea Change is the first documentary about ocean acidification, directed by Barbara Ettinger and co-produced by Sven Huseby of Niijii Films. Chock full of scientific information, the feature-length film is also a beautiful paen to the ocean world and an intimate story of a Norwegian-American family whose heritage is bound up with the sea.
Recipient of the NOAA 2010 Environmental Hero Award, and more than 17 international film awards. SEA CHANGE is also a touching portrait of Sven's relationship with his grandchild Elias. As Sven keeps a correspondence with the little boy, he mulls over the world that he is leaving for future generations. A disturbing and essential companion piece to An Inconvenient Truth, A Sea Change brings home the indisputable fact that our lifestyle is changing the earth, despite our rhetoric or wishful thinking.
A Sea Change debuted in March 2009, to a record, standing-room only audience at the Smithsonian Museum, and a standing ovation. Since then, the film has been screened at San Diego's Scripps Institute of Oceanography as well as at festivals in North America, Europe, and Latin America, garnering multiple awards.
