"Coral: Rekindling Venus" Saturday, Feb. 2, 4-4:30 p.m. ConocoPhillips Integrated Science Building, Room 220

"Coral: Rekindling Venus" is a film made without narration. It is made to be an immersive experience of the diverse and complex community of coral reefs using a subtle and imaginative narrative structure.

"Coral" is an immersive and emotional journey. It invites you to lose yourself in the truly extraordinary world of coral reef communities. It allows you to feel as if you are present, sometimes lying on the sea floor and sometimes free floating through the plankton-rich sea at night. This sensation helps to build our connection to the world's reefs. Humans--as much as corals--are reliant on healthy oceans, but climate scientists warn us that this remarkable world of coral reefs is at risk. "Coral" offers a rare opportunity to experience the reef, to come to know corals and so, hopefully, to cherish and protect them. (23 minutes)
