MELT – A Climate Conversation with Denver Digerati

Join us in the Infinity Theater with Denver Digerati to present the World Premiere of MELT – The Memory of Ice. Witness this exploration of our changing planet through the lens of local filmmaker, Betsey Biggs, Ph.D. After the film, we have the honor of welcoming Richard Nunn - the Assistant Curator and database manager of the National Ice Core Laboratory (NICL) to discuss the importance of this work and the incredible lessons that ice can teach us.

Presented exclusively at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science, this evening is presented in conjunction with the 9th Annual Digerati Experimental Media Festival. We are honored and excited to collaborate with Denver Digerati to screen this immersive world premiere.

MELT: The Memory of Ice is a minimalist cinematic song cycle for singers, electronic music, and film, a personal reckoning with the earth’s body changing, melting, and spilling as global warming melts our ice caps and threatens winter. MELT’s sounds, images and texts are drawn from four weeks with the director's mother and young daughter exploring the Greenland Ice Sheet and the world’s most actively melting glacier, the Jakobshavn Glacier in Ilulissat, Greenland, as well as from personal and archival materials.

We can’t wait to see you at the Museum!
