Description

Dinosaurs fascinate us—from museums to movies, theme parks to toys. Discover why at a special screening of Why Dinosaurs?, followed by a talk with the filmmakers.

The film follows dino-obsessed teen James and his filmmaker father, Tony, on a journey around the globe, interviewing world-renowned paleontologists about the latest discoveries, digging up 150-million-year-old bones, and encountering dinosaur fanatics of all walks of life. Together they track down the filmmakers behind Jurassic Park and Jurassic World, see the world's largest dinosaur toy collection, and attempt to discover why everybody loves dinosaurs.
