Shorts: Some Notes on Your Health

Tickets are $8 in advance, $12 at the door.

We all want to be healthy. We're on average living longer, learning more about our bodies and organs, and innovating new treatments, but by any estimation we have a lot left to figure out. Continuing uncertainties breed a constant barrage of advice in every media -- sound or unsound, scientific or subjective, free or at great expense. How does anyone sort it all out? The films in this program won't necessarily help you to do so (though some will!), but are intended to come together to explore the confusion of questions and contradictions we must live with right now. True or false, every medical opinion tells us something about humanity.

Though bookended in films taking a playful approach to these significant questions, the core of the program is very real: the latest in Parkinson's treatments, new avenues in olfactory study, and the new frontiers of the microbiome.
