UNMC and Film Streams are partnering to present a special holiday Science on Screen showing of "Gremlins."
The event will be Tuesday at 6:45 p.m. at the Ruth Sokolof Theater, 1340 Mike Fahey St.
"Gremlins" takes place in small town Kingston Falls at Christmastime, when a father gives his son Mogwai. As Film Streams explains, the rules for Mogwai are simple: "Keep your Mogwai away from water, bright lights and, most importantly, never, never feed him after midnight." When the rules are broken, the gremlins multiply and wreak havoc.
Join presenters Kacie Baum, UNMC’s senior manager of events and community engagement, and UNMC students Kristina Pravoverov and Aaron Schwab for an introductory discussion of the science behind the gremlins.
Can water or sunlight really cause animals to mutate, spawn or melt? How do time zones and daylight-saving time affect Mogwai? Those questions and more will be discussed at this fun holiday event.
Tickets are available online.
Masks are required at Film Streams unless eating or drinking concessions. Theater capacity has been lowered to allow distancing.
