Andrzej Żuławski’s 1988 sci-fi epic follows a group of wayward astronauts who attempt to rebuild society on a new planet after fleeing Earth. As the generations progress, a video diary sent by one of the concerned founders makes its way back home, prompting the arrival of a scientist on the planet whom the inhabitants regard as a messiah. Premiering at the Cannes Film Festival nearly a decade after filming began, ON THE SILVER GLOBE is considered one of the most challenging and visionary productions of Żuławski’s career. From Andrzej Zulawski (POSSESSION) comes one of the most astonishing visual spectacles of all time, a mystical sci-fi parable of space messiahs and tribal warfare on a faraway planet.

Playing May 9 and 11. A recent 4K restoration.

Happy Friday • Double-exposure photograph, staged for Century magazine in 1899, showing Serbian-American inventor Nikola Tesla seated beneath a giant “magnifying transmitter”, arcing 22-foot-long bolts of electricity. Beneath this copy of the photo Tesla inscribed: “To my illustrious friend Sir William Crookes of whom I always think and whose kind letters I never answer!”. ⁠
⁠
Too busy to return letters, Tesla was hard at work making the medium obsolete. In the Century article “The Problem of Increasing Human Energy”, the inventor describes how his “mind was dominated by the idea of effecting communication to any distance through the earth or environing medium”. Tesla had hit on the idea of a planetary messaging platform, for both tellurian and extraterrestrial recipients, which would consume decades of his life. Why fuss with laying telegraph cables (or power lines) if the earth itself could deliver electrical signals of varying strengths to a specific addressee?⁠

The upcoming solar eclipse is your chance to gather scientific data.⁠
⁠
That's the word from NASA, which is calling on people to use the agency's app to record the eclipse as it passes through next month.⁠
⁠
NASA says the help from citizen scientists will allow it "to create a massive hour-long database of observations" much larger than it could on its own.
