Loosely inspired by the utopian novel The New Atlantis, written by Sir Francis Bacon in 1627. Bacon, the philosopher of the new science of progress and technology, sets the stage for the main character Francis Galton to ponder the secrets of heredity. Myth and history are interwoven in the act of drawing and erasing and the metamorphosis of images, Francis Galton furiously writes letters to his cousin Charles Darwin in the pursuit of the truth of hereditary traits. Through conquest and discovery, Galton's mythology develops and his aspirations to improve the race lead to controversy.
Filmmakers Lori Hiris and Natalie Farr scheduled to attend.
