Description
We are excited to host the 2019 WEP Film Festival, where renowned scientists will introduce and lead discussions for a range of educational documentaries and fictional film screenings related to this year’s theme ‘TIME’.
In two parallel stories, the clockmaker John Harrison builds the marine chronometer for safe navigation at sea in the 18th Century and the horologist Rupert Gould becomes obsessed with restoring it in the 20th Century.
We encourage festivalgoers to stay for the post-film discussion led by renown experts.
Brought to you by the University Library, Community Life and the Office of Enrichment Programs.
