Proteus: A Film about Ernst Haeckel

Morbid Anatomy Library will screen the film, Proteus,
followed by a Q and A with Director David Lebrun. The central figure of the film is biologist and artist Ernst Haeckel (1834-1919). "As a young man, Haeckel found himself torn between seeming irreconcilables: science and art, materialism and religion, rationality and passion, outer and inner worlds. Through his discoveries beneath the sea, Haeckel would eventually reconcile these dualities, bringing science and art together in a unitary, almost mystical vision."
