Let There Be Light explains the complex science needed to make this theoretical process become a reality. Science, history, politics, and visionary personalities combine with panache to achieve just the right 'planetarium' feel without getting cheesy. Archival footage and animation are also employed to great visual (and often hilarious) effect. Buckle up for a journey beyond the frontiers of science and technology with some sexy sub-particles.

TUE MAY 9 | 9PM | CINEMATHEQUE
Along the sidewalks and cafés of Seine-Saint-Denis, groups of young men talk with remarkable bluntness and honesty about love, desire, sex, and race. As one man says "White people experience love. They were taught how." Made with a shattering level of intimacy, Alice Diop's film is both a cinepoem and a piercing statement on the nature of disenfranchisement.
