CARRIE (1976)
Withdrawn and sensitive teenager Carrie White endures relentless bullying from her classmates and abuse from her fanatically religious mother, only to discover she may possess terrifying supernatural powers.

Join us for our next Science on Screen selection, as we celebrate our iconic sand dunes with a showing of THE HOUSE OF SAND (2005), a mesmerizing portrait of people, place, and time set among shifting dunes. After the film, local experts will explore what our own dunes can teach us about history, climate, and change.

4:15 PM | SATURDAY, JUNE 13
More information, expert bios and tickets available at www.thepalmtheatre.com

Join us after the film for a discussion with Saule Baipsys, Sebastian Alvarez, and Dan Robinette as they explore the themes in the film of time, landscape, and human impact, connecting the film’s shifting dunes to mirror the history and changing ecology of our own local dunes and the stories that they hold.

HOUSE OF SAND (2005)
