WORDS FROM JEAN PAINLEVÉ
THE SEAHORSE, 1933
"Mystery and miracle of secret waters, the seahorse gives its vertical gait,
unique among ocean vertebrates, a lofty and rigid sadness, masking the
strange suppleness with which, head suspended in the air as though freed of
gravity, it winds its way through the algae.
Everything about this animal, a victim of contradictory forces, suggests
that it has disguised itself to escape, and in warding off the fiercest fates, it
carries away the most diverse and unexpected possibilities."
"The joy of experiencing [Painlevé] films, short cinematic gems that renew a sense of the mystery and miracle of nature, is to unearth a still fertile root of cinema and the revelation that there are film hybrids yet to be realized. Looking back at Painlevé's filmic marvels suggests new and multiple directions forward and reminds us that cinema was scientific before it was fiction."

Current ISF Initiatives
About the Imagine Science Film Festival Over more than a decade, Imagine Science Films (ISF) has grown into a major venue for the release of new and experimental works bridging the worlds of science and film. Founded at Rockefeller University, Imagine Science Films is a 501(c)(3) that produces annual science film festivals in New York, Paris, and Abu Dhabi, and at satellite events worldwide. Our festival cultivates an appreciation of science through our events, but also serves as an international resource and active network for those who want to communicate the scientific realities of our world to public audiences. |
