Full programme of Genetics Matters 23rd February 2019
Pop-up cinema is coming to the IGM foyer this February
We’ve been involved in an exciting collaboration with Northumbria University the past few months, and we’re building a small cinema in the IGM foyer. We’re really exicted, come see for yourselves!
Black Box is a joint project by The Cultural Negotiation of Science (CNoS) at Northumbria University and the Institute of Genetic Medicine (IGM) at Newcastle University. Opening the door on the inner workings of genetic research, Black Box is a FREE pop-up cinema located in the IGM West Wing foyer showing a programme of creative film works inspired by and expanding upon genetic themes.
What do advances in genetics mean for the future of humanity and other species? How is genetics changing medicine? What do we mean by biotechnology? What possible genetic futures can we imagine?
The Black Box pop-up cinema will feature 4 themed weeks, each screening a short (60-90min) reel of 5-10min movies. The themes have been inspired by the issues and topics in genetic research and are:
- 4th-8th February – FUTURE
- 11th-15th February – IDENTITY
- 18th-22nd February – LIFE
- 25th-28th February – KINSHIP
