SILA (n.) = weather, balance, and consciousness


Come see "SILA and the Gatekeepers of the Arctic," introduced by the documentarian herself.


Tuesday, February 16 @7:00 in Loew Auditorium (BVAC)  


The filmmaker, Corina Gamma, will speak a few words before her movie that includes footage of Dartmouth faculty and students working in Greenland.


Summary: The documentary explores the Greenlandic concept of SILA, a term that encompasses weather, balance and consciousness. Amidst a breathtaking frozen landscape, two vastly independent groups, Inuit subsistence hunters and a group of polar scientists, bear witness to the transforming environment due to climate change.
