Exclusive Film Screening of ARIEL PHENOMENON
Join award-winning filmmaker Randall Nickerson for an exclusive screening of Ariel Phenomenon
Tuesday, September 9, 6pm
Winsor Room
In ARIEL PHENOMENON, filmmaker Randall Nickerson shares his decades-long passion for capturing a remarkable close encounter experienced by over sixty schoolchildren in Zimbabwe outside their schoolyard. Decades later, the incident remains vivid in the student’s memories. Join us for a thought-provoking screening of a film that aims to spark conversations and illuminate a topic that has long been shrouded in stigma and secrecy.
Randall Nickerson has been working in the film industry since 1987, first as a stage and film actor, before transitioning into cinematography, and ultimately into directing in 2001. Nickerson began his production company, "String Theory Films, LLC" in 2001 and formally incorporated it in early 2016.
After several short documentaries, Nickerson made the leap to his first feature-length film, Ariel Phenomenon. His team followed witness Emily Trim on a journey back to Zimbabwe as the storyline for the film. Then the team got to work weaving the film together, from hundreds and hundreds of hours of footage.
Nickerson and Main Line MUFON director Jennifer W. Stein will lead a Q&A following the screening. No registration required.
