SCIENCE ON SCREEN® – THE LIFE AQUATIC WITH STEVE ZISSOU with Prof. Baylor Fox-Kemper

An initiative of the COOLIDGE CORNER THEATRE

With major support from the ALFRED P. SLOAN FOUNDATION

Prior to the film, Baylor Fox-Kemper, Professor of Earth, Environmental and Planetary Sciences at Brown University, will give a presentation entitled
“The Real-Life Aquatic with Sea Level, Heating, and Acidification (and What You Can Do)”

Renowned oceanographer Steve Zissou (Bill Murray) has sworn vengeance upon the rare shark that devoured a member of his crew. In addition to his regular team, he is joined on his boat by Ned (Owen Wilson), a man who believes Zissou to be his father, and Jane (Cate Blanchett), a journalist pregnant by a married man. They travel the sea, all too often running into pirates and, perhaps more traumatically, various figures from Zissou’s past, including his estranged wife, Eleanor (Anjelica Huston).
