CHOREOGRAPHIES TOWARDS LOSS – film screening and discussion on the biodiversity crisis and conservation

How do we tell the story of a species that no longer exists? Experience the poetic and thought-provoking film CHOREOGRAPHIES TOWARDS LOSS, and meet the award-winning Norwegian director behind the film in conversation with leading researchers in biodiversity and conservation.

Choreographies Towards Loss explores species extinction through the story of The Great Auk — a bird of special significance to the Natural History Museum Denmark. Film director Irene Margrethe Kaltenborn will introduce the film, and after the screening, she will join Professor of Biodiversity Hans Henrik Bruun and Research Director Anders P. Tøttrup for a discussion on the film’s central themes: the biodiversity crisis and conservation.

As part of the event, guests will have the opportunity to explore the exhibition ‘Wild Wonderful World’, where a rare specimen of The Great Auk from the museum’s scientific collections is on display.
