(MJ was one of Ricky's last grad students.) She began the project without an agenda or message; this made it easier for her film subjects to be who they are, instead of who she wanted them to be.And so for the contemporary footage she filmed the exact same way, to provide coherence across the massive time gap.Learn more from the film's official website: https://www.maryjanedoherty.com/cosmic-coda-thisReviews:"Wildly Original and funny!I have never seen anything like Cosmic Coda and likely never will – it had a singular MJ imprint in its searching, playful construction. Loved the music, her hand-written interludes, the endless maze of cords and foil covered surfaces. She somehow managed to capture science from the infinitesimally small to unfathomably infinite. Without sacrificing the why. Plus she had the good sense to add a cow."-WBUR: Best Films 2025 -Erin Trahan - Arts Journalist"Now more than ever we scientists need our fellow humans (and dairy cows) to feel how science is not a remote, sterile pursuit, but something that grows out of the core human need for truth and meaning."-Marta Faulkner - PhD Candidatehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w3jWUIr_REcParking and Location:The film will be shown in the LSB building, as indicated on the map.
