OSE is pleased to announce a new venue for its successful public science education program, Science in the Cinema. In partnership with the AFI Silver Theatre and Cultural Center, OSE is sponsoring Science in the Cinema from May through July at the historic Silver Theatre located in downtown Silver Spring.

Science in the Cinema is a free film festival. Every second Tuesday during May, June, and July, a film with a medical science-related theme will be shown in its entirety beginning at 7:00 p.m. Following each film, a guest speaker with expertise in the film's subject area will comment on the science depicted in the film and take questions from the audience.

Free tickets are available on a first-come, first-served basis through the AFI Silver box office, the day of the show only. Seating is limited to the first 400 individuals.

Science in the Cinema is open to the general public and is intended for a broad range of individuals who enjoy the cinema and have an interest in science and medicine. The NIH and AFI Silver film series will touch on a variety of medical science topics, including depression, cancer, the history of medicine, and medical research ethics.
