Film descriptions are below:


*CODE: Debugging the gender gap*

This film exposes the dearth of American female and minority software
engineers and explores the reasons for this gender gap, raising the
question: What would society gain from having more women and minorities in
the tech industry, and how do we get there?


*Do you trust this computer?*

Science fiction has long anticipated the rise of machine intelligence.
Today, a new generation of self-learning computers has begun to reshape
every aspect of our lives. Incomprehensible amounts of data are being
created, interpreted, and fed back to us in a tsunami of apps, personal
assistants, smart devices, and targeted advertisements. Virtually every
industry on earth is experiencing this transformation, from job automation,
to medical diagnostics, even military operations. Do You Trust This
Computer? explores the promises and perils of our new era. Will A.I. usher
in an age of unprecedented potential, or prove to be our final invention?


*Human Nature*

A breakthrough called CRISPR has given us unprecedented control over the
basic building blocks of life. It opens the door to curing diseases,
reshaping the biosphere, and designing our own children. Human Nature is a
provocative exploration of CRISPR’s far-reaching implications, through the
eyes of the scientists who discovered it, the families it’s affecting, and
the bioengineers who are testing its limits. How will this new power change
our relationship with nature? What will it mean for human evolution? To
begin to answer these questions we must look back billions of years and
peer into an uncertain future.


*Picture a **S**cientist*

A feature-length documentary film chronicling the groundswell of
researchers who are writing a new chapter for women scientists. A
biologist, a chemist and a geologist lead viewers on a journey deep into
their own experiences in the sciences, overcoming brutal harassment,
institutional discrimination, and years of subtle slights to revolutionize
the culture of science. From cramped laboratories to spectacular field
sites, we also encounter scientific luminaries who provide new perspectives
on how to make science itself more diverse, equitable, and open to all.


*Sonic Sea*

Sonic Sea is a powerful, visually stunning documentary about the impact of
industrial and military ocean noise on whales and other marine life. It
tells the story of a former US Navy officer who solved a tragic mystery and
changed forever the way we understand our impact on the ocean. The film is
narrated by Rachel McAdams and features Sting, in addition to the renowned
ocean experts Dr. Sylvia Earle, Dr. Paul Spong, Dr. Christopher Clark and
Jean-Michel Cousteau.
