Irving Berlin wrote “There’s No Business like Show Business.” Some argue that film is an art not a business.  But the reality is, without science, there would not be film. The act of capturing images and sound on a thin strip of plastic is the result of a great deal of science over the past 150 years.

Tonight at the Museum of Discovery, it is the monthly Science After Dark feature for adults.  This month explores the Science of Making Movies.  Learn about the science of lights, camera and even action tonight.

The program runs from 6pm to 8pm at the Museum of Discovery. It costs $5, but is free to Museum Members.  If you attend several of these a year as well as visit the museum once or twice, you MORE than make up your membership fee.

(And after you have learned about the science of making movies, you can attend Movies in the Park tonight just outside the museum in Riverfront Park.)

Summer is here, take your kids to the museum.  If you don’t have kids, borrow some from a friend, neighbor or relative — you’ll be their hero.  Or just go by yourself – the Museum of Discovery offers activities and exhibits designed to engage literally all ages.
