*CANCELLED* Human Nature Q&As with Doudna and Urnov

To support the widespread public health effort to limit the spread of COVID-19, we are regretfully cancelling the IGI Q&As for these events. The theater will still show the film, but that decision is out of our hands.

If you purchased online tickets and would like a refund, find the “Confirmation of Booking” email you received from Landmark Theatres, scroll to the bottom, and follow the instructions to request a refund. Full refunds are granted up until 1 hour before showtime.

We hope to offer similar events in the future, and the film will eventually become available on-demand.

We are delighted to support the opening of a new documentary featuring IGI leaders Jill Banfield, Jennifer Doudna, and Fyodor Urnov.

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.

To facilitate public discourse about genome editing, Jennifer Doudna and Fyodor Urnov will be participating in question-and-answer sessions following the 7 p.m. film showings in downtown Berkeley on Friday, March 13 (Doudna) and Saturday, March 14 (Urnov).

Friday’s event is sold out online, though there may be some tickets available at the box office. We suggest securing your Saturday tickets in advance. Please check for additional showtimes in Berkeley, San Francisco, or other locations.
