Cephalopod Movie Night with Science Friday

Calendar/Event Details

They’re quick, they’re clever, they’re masters of disguise and every year public radio program Science Friday dedicates a week to celebrating them. Cephalopod Week, Science Friday’s annual celebration of some of the smartest, most interesting invertebrates on Earth, is back, and Atlas Obscura and Science Friday are teaming up to make it a total cephalo-party.

Join us for an evening of talk, tentacles, and merriment, featuring four original short films from Science Friday at the Swedish Cultural Center. This evening is your chance to rub elbows with Science Friday Executive Director Danielle Dana and a special guest—and ask them anything you want to know about these amazing, adaptive, and sometimes creepy creatures.

You'll join other Atlas Obscura Society members and Science Friday listeners for this very special screening, and engage in riveting conversation as you enjoy scenes of giant octopus attacks from vintage cult film.
