"THE NATURE OF EXISTENCE" BY TREKKIES DIRECTOR ROGER NYGARD SCREENS ON MAY 23
Roger Nygard graced us with observations about his experiences filming “Trekkies” and “Trekkies2" back in February, and, on May 23, Roger honors us with a full screening of his latest documentary “The Nature Of Existence.” Roger traveled around the world asking spiritual leaders, philosophers, scientists, and others why we exist and what is the point of our being here. The result is an absolutely fascinating and thoroughly entertaining examination of the multitude of possible answers (some profound, some absurd, some downright infuriating) to those questions. Prepare to be challenged, confounded, delighted, and enlightened by a film that only Roger Nygard could have made.
POSTPONED AGAIN FROM APRIL 25: WATCH FOR NEW DATE ANNOUNCEMENT
What Is "Human" Life?
One of the most fascinating aspects of Star Trek comes in the exploration of what it means to be human. But, sometimes that which seems to be human is not. Marina Sirtis, the beautiful and gifted actress who portrayed Counselor Deanna Troi, joins us for a discussion of "The Child," a compelling and thought-provoking episode from The Next Generation. Deanna finds herself impregnated by an alien life form that is pure energy . . . and facing one of the most emotionally draining challenges of her Star Fleet career!
