Join Safina Center Creative Affiliate Kathleen Dean Moore for the world premier of "The Extinction Variations" film. The screening will be followed by a conversation with Kathleen Dean Moore, Rachelle McCabe, and filmmaker Nara Garber.

Filmed on the concert stage and in the Pacific Northwest’s landscapes of coastal tidepools, volcanic fields, and clear-cut mountainsides, The Extinction Variations is a moving call to action on climate disruption and mass extinction. In a unique creative collaboration, classical pianist Rachelle McCabe’s performance of Sergei Rachmaninoff’s “Variations on a Theme of Corelli” weaves through essayist Kathleen Dean Moore’s words, carrying them from despair to bewilderment to hope and moral resolve.

As Moore says, “Words alone cannot express the urgency of action. And so we turn to music.”

“It was truly exceptional. I had no idea what to expect. I was deeply moved by the power, eloquence, wisdom, urgency, and insight of the presentation. The synergy of the music and the reading was brilliant ... And that's what I needed. Not another intellectual experience, but a revitalization of the emotional connection to the planetary emergency." —Mitchell Thomashaw, former president, Unity College

The event begins this Saturday, Jan. 23, at 6 p.m. PST. and will be held virtually.
