The International Wildlife Film Festival presents Science Is Fiction: 8 Underwater Films by Jean Painleve

One of the first filmmakers to descend underwater with a movie camera, French avant-garde filmmaker Jean Painleve created hypnotic and surreal films that capture the beauty and weirdness of life undersea. His evocative images are taken to a new level of dreaminess by NextDoorPrisonHotel (The Roxy's resident silent film duo, John Sporman & Travis Yost) who will perform their original score to eight of Painleve's rarely seen films.
