Wed 9/30 @ 7PM
If birds have ever made you the least bit nervous, you are definitely not going to want to see Alfred Hitchcock’s 1963 horror thriller The Birds. In it, flocks of birds wage a deadly assault on a small town.
“But what happens when movie magic is made at the expense of scientific fact?”
That’s the question being asked by the Reel Science series, cosponsored by Cleveland Cinemas and the Cleveland Museum of Natural History. They’ll be screening the film at the Cedar Lee Theater as part of their Reel Science series.
Part of what the series does is to look at the films and analyze what they got right and what they just pulled out of thin air with no scientific basis. Find out whether that applies to murderous birds in the post-screening discussion with Dr. Andy Jones, curator of ornithology (bird science, for those not up on technical terms) at the Cleveland Museum of Natural History.
Tickets are $7.50 or $5 for museum members and Cleveland Cinemas Marquee Rewards members.
