Ideas of Order

Erin Espelie (Dir), 65 minutes, USA, Western New York Premiere

A collision between the macro-collapse of ecosystems and the minutiae of cellular colonies in a story about entropy, unrestrained growth, waltzing mice, and the bacteria that made Earth rich in oxygen. (Microscopy images were collected by the filmmaker over 6 yrs as artist-in-residence in a biochem lab; no AI used)
