SUMMARY:WINGS & Climate Film Festival Present: A Special Screening
DESCRIPTION:We are thrilled to invite you to a private\, sneak peek screening of a new documentary by an award-winning filmmaker. This film chronicles the extraordinary journey of Dr. Samantha Monier\, a charismatic field biologist who leads a groundbreaking research expedition to the remote island of South Georgia. \nThe film highlights the extreme discoveries made by Dr. Monier and her team as they uncover the secrets of the polar region’s majestic wildlife. Through her eyes\, we witness the dedication\, passion\, and resilience of those who are not only exploring but also working to preserve our planet’s most fragile ecosystems. \nThe film offers a refreshingly unconventional take on the nature documentary genre\, emphasizing the critical role of women in pushing the boundaries of scientific discovery. \nThe evening kicks off with an open bar happy hour on the terrace at 22 Vanderbilt and the film will begin at 7pm. Following the screening\, there will be a panel Q&A with the film’s director and lead expeditionist\, Dr. Samantha Monier\, moderated by WINGS Associate Board members and co-hosts Frankie deGruy and Caroline Williams. \nThis event is dedicated to supporting WINGS mission of uplifting women in exploration and cutting-edge discoveries\, as well as New York City’s first film festival dedicated to climate. \nWe can’t wait to see you!

TOM creates virtual environments and interactive narrative experiences that extend this inspiration beyond a physical expedition\, to provide a place for past explorers to revisit and share stories\, for potential explorers to taste the possibilities\, and for those who cannot travel to these places\, the chance to enjoy the next best thing. \nJoin Otters Louise Edwards (Lead Developer and Science Consultant) and Tiffany Duong (Story Producer) as they share how\, after meeting on a WINGS expedition to Arctic Norway (carrying Flag #32)\, they turned their shared passions for ocean conservation into their first VR game. Based on their expedition\, the multi-award-winning Found in the Fjords follows a young female orca learning how to survive and thrive in a changing ocean. During a live playthrough\, they will describe how\, through its creation\, they developed an innovative way to enhance exploration that can amplify the reach and impact of any global environmental cause. \nTOM is excited to also share an exclusive first look at their new explorable Antarctic prototype with the WINGS community. In February 2024\, they once again proudly carried the same WINGS Flag #32 as part of a Citizen Science Expedition to the southern continent to research their sophomore project\, Stories of the Southern Seas. This anthology of immersive mini-games will transport players into the minds and bodies of the Antarctic Peninsula’s fascinating inhabitants\, send them back in time to discover the history of Antarctic science and exploration\, and much much more. \nAt lunch\, visit TOM at their booth where you can don a VR headset and venture to far off lands\, discuss opportunities to collaborate\, and create your own digital avatar. \nClick here to register \nCheck out the 2023 Global Explorers Forum here
