A Life Illuminated
April 10 @ 6:30 pm
A Life Illuminated follows Dr. Edie Widder, a trailblazing marine biologist and one of the first women to explore the ocean’s twilight zone, as she descends 3,300 feet into the ocean’s deepest and darkest waters. From capturing the first-ever footage of the giant squid to uncovering the glowing mysteries of deep-sea bioluminescence, Widder embarks on her most ambitious mission yet: documenting a bioluminescent phenomenon that could reshape our understanding of life on Earth.
Directed by Tasha Van Zandt and an official selection of the Toronto International Film Festival, the film screens with a post-screening conversation moderated by documentary programmer Thom Powers.
