Five big films. Six short weeks.
May 10 - June 20, 2013
Get a front-row seat to experience larger-than-life adventures—from the stormy plains of the central U.S. to the icy expanses of Antarctica. From May 10 through June 20, Omnifest 2013, the Science Museum's annual film festival, will bring five big films—both classic and new—to the Omnitheater's giant screen.
Jane Goodall's Wild Chimpanzees
A Science Museum of Minnesota original production, Jane Goodall's Wild Chimpanzees will transport you into the African wilderness for the journey of a lifetime. Meet Goodall's now-famous chimpanzee subjects and get an up-close look at them as they hunt, play, and communicate with one another. And meet the next generation of researchers at Gombe, whose mission it is to carry on Dr. Goodall's legendary work.

Wild Ocean
Each year a feeding frenzy of sharks, dolphins, whales and other big game fish takes place along the Wild Coast of South Africa, as billions of sardines migrate up the KwaZulu-Natal Coast. Wild Ocean delves into this underwater struggle and examines the effects that global warming and over fishing have had on the great migration and local people.
