The feature documentary The Matter of Everything: A Quantum Dose of Reality is playing this Saturday, July 10, at the CCA Cinematheque in Santa Fe (1050 Old Pecos Trail). The film explores “quantum reality and the interconnectedness of nature from the quantum to the universe.” I’m sure that makes sense to some of you. In any case, the film’s director, Enrico Lappano, will be there to (get this) “accompany the soundtrack live on the cello.” The screening (which begins at 2:30 p.m., by the way) will be followed by a Q&A session with filmmakers and physicist Scott Menary of CERN-Fermilab (who might be able to make heads or tails out of all this spiritually mathematical talk).

Reel World: The Shooting Party The Shooting Party

If you spot a bunch of film crews running around town this week madly shooting movies, don’t panic. It’s just the Albuquerque leg of The 48 Hour Film Project. On July 9, crews of directors, writers, producers, editors, actors, etc., will be given a few simple guidelines (a genre, a line of dialogue, a character) and told to get out there and make some movies. In a mere 48 hours, the crews will be forced to turn in their finished shorts. On July 15, 16 and 18, the films will be screened at the KiMo Theatre Downtown. From the looks of it, 40 different teams have signed up for the challenge! Good luck to all involved. We’ll see you (hopefully) at the KiMo. If you need tickets to the screenings, log on to 48 Hour Film.
