Portland EcoFilm Festival
New media pioneer Cory McAbee will close out the EcoFilm Festival’s 10th season with his live multimedia science lecture Cultured Cell Culture. It’s an experience that must be seen to be believed: McAbee blends original music, art, and animation to reflect on “cell memory in cultured cell meats, monarch butterflies, agricultural reform, proactive approaches to further human evolution, Abraham Lincoln, cruelty-free cannibalism, space aliens, and people who are better than we are.” LINDSAY COSTELLO
