About the event

Field Report: The Filmmaker & The Scientist – Part of Open Worlds: Science
What is the role of the filmmaker in scientific research and conservation? Expedition films show us the work of scientists in the field and document important behavior. But does adding more humans to the scene disrupt animal activity or damage the environment?

Join us for a screening of Ivohiboro: The Lost Forest, which follows renowned American primatologist Dr. Patricia Wright as she leads a 30-day scientific expedition into a pristine tropical forest in the rugged plains of Southeast Madagascar, one of the last primary forests on the planet. After the screening, Dr. Patricia Wright, Ivohiboro’s filmmakers, and Dr. Mai Fahmy, an environmental DNA scientist featured in the film, will lead a conversation about fieldwork and the collaboration between scientists and filmmaking teams.

2:00 p.m: Ivohiboro screening (52 mins)
RSVPs recommended

3:30–4:30 p.m. “The Filmmaker & The Scientist” conversation RSVPs recommended.

Presented in partnership with Pioneer Works and Centre ValBio, a Stony Brook University research campus in Madagascar.
