Journey of the Universe (0:60) 2011

Journey of the Universe was shown tonight at Spruce Hall as the kick-off movie to next week's  2011 Environmental Film Festival at Yale. Today's showing was also the world premiere. Brian Thomas Swimme is the narrator of the story of the unfolding universe and our ever evolving place in the universe. This documentary was filmed on the Greek island of Samos which happens to the birthplace of Pythagoras. In sixty minutes, the narrator takes from the big of the universe to modern day. We are given a look at the astronomy, geology, and ecology of  our world and the insights of our knowledge and discoveries. Journey of the Universe is beautifully filmed, the shots of outer space are awesome. Swimme is excellent in giving us information without becoming too technical or dry. This is an excellent way to start EFFY!
