Join us at ScienceWorks for a special free screening of Observer — a thought-provoking and beautifully crafted film that invites us to see the world with new eyes.

In Observer, filmmaker Ian Cheney embarks on an experiment in which he brings a series of keen-eyed observers — scientists, artists, a hunter — to a range of locations around the world, often without telling them where they are going, and asks them simply to describe what they see.

What unfolds is a deep exploration and celebration of the power of observation: what happens when you find new ways to sense and perceive the world around you? With customary whimsy and a small painted red square that Cheney brings on every journey, the film is an invitation to viewers to find beauty and meaning in even the most quotidian of locales.

Whether you're a scientist, artist, nature lover, or simply a curious observer, this screening is for anyone who delights in seeing the world a little more deeply. Learn more at www.observerfilm.org
