Science on Screen: ROCKS IN MY POCKETS

Enzian Theater is proud to present a series bridging the gap between science and art. Each film will be preceded by a fascinating presentation from a notable expert from the world of science, technology, mathematics, and medicine.

A story of mystery and redemption. The film is based on true events involving five women of Signe Baumane’s family, including herself, and their battles with depression and suicide. It raises questions of how much family genetics determine who we are and if it is possible to outsmart one’s own DNA. The film is packed with visual metaphors, surreal images and a twisted sense of humor. It is an animated tale full of art, women, strange daring stories, Latvian accents, history, nature, adventure and more.

The film will also be preceded by a presentation from Martin Klapheke MD, Assistant Dean of Medical Education and Professor of Psychiatry at the University of Central Florida College of Medicine, who will discuss the role of genetics, life experiences, and epigenetics in mental health, and myths and stigma of illness.
