The Raft (Flotten)

Wednesday, September 21, 7:00pm. The top-prize winner at Copenhagen’s CPH:DOX in 2018, Marcus Lindeen’s engrossing documentary recounts the baffling 1973 Acali Experiment, in which 11 perfect strangers drifted across the Atlantic on a cramped, motorless raft as part of a “scientific” study on the origins of violence and aggression.  Post-screening discussion with Dr. Jennifer Gibson and Dr. William H. McKellin.

Celebrating 20 Years of Frames of Mind

Although it’s come and gone, September 2021 marked the beginning of the twentieth year of the Frames of Mind Mental Health Film Series as a monthly event at The Cinematheque.

A big thank you as well to you, our audience, for your continued commitment to attending our events. We wouldn’t be here without you!
