The Exploratorium celebrates 40 years of artful, independent cinema at the crossroads of art and science.The Exploratorium invites visitors to a crossroads of art and science through its longstanding Cinema Arts program. For 40 years and counting, the museum has used the projection screen as a portal to imagination, investigation, and conversation.
Cinema Arts engages artists and independent filmmakers to create animations, documentaries, poetic observations, and abstract visuals. The programming blends the methods and aesthetics of artists and scientists for immersive experiences and deep observation. And it continues to push boundaries. "We enjoy showing a kind of multiplicity of genres. So, we hone in on experimental films that really allow kind of visual evocations and, but also documentaries, animations, really a kind of whole gamut of films," said Liz Keim, the Director/Curator of Cinema Arts at the Exploratorium.
