Science on Screen: Dazed and Confused

Tuesday, March 26 at 7 PM

KPAC presents DAZED AND CONFUSED as part of our Science on Screen® series, showcasing films with introductions by notable figures from the world of science, technology, and medicine. America, 1976. The last day of school. Bongs blaze, bell-bottoms ring, and rock and roll rocks. Among the best teen films ever made, Dazed and Confused eavesdrops on a group of seniors-to-be and incoming freshmen. A launching pad for a number of future stars, the first studio effort by Richard Linklater also features endlessly quotable dialogue and a blasting, stadium-ready soundtrack.

High School High
Dr. Carrie Cuttler, Associate Professor in the WSU Department of Psychology, and Dr. Ryan J McLaughlin, Associate Professor in the Department of Integrative Physiology and Neuroscience, will discuss teenage cannabis use and its effects. They will explore the impact of cannabis use on mental health, physical health, stress, and cognition, and examine whether the movie portrays these effects.

An initiative of the Coolidge Corner Theatre, with major support from the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation.
