Don't forget, #distribute2020 conference-goers - you can continue conversation about panels, keynotes, and events in La Plaza, in the virtual zoom hallways (check stream for passwords), and right here on twitter!!

Over twenty people are in the zoom hallway conversation with panelists from the World Without Clouds experimental film. Meeting ID and password is on the stream page now. Join us for a Q&A! #Distribute2020

"We wanted to do something between parable and parody" - @stevenconde4 responds to @anandspandian's question about the role of humor in the film. #Distribute2020

Great conversation between @zooanthrosmia, @JulianneYip, @pharmanthro, @StevenConde4, @anthrobite on playing with film, improvisation, disagreement, and their own research backgrounds into the work of creating A World Without Clouds #distribute2020

The film imagines a dystopic future (re: climate), but we're watching it amidst a different kind of (health) dystopia. Panelists now putting these differences in context. #distribute2020

@zooanthrosmia notes that the film was made in the leadup to stay-home orders. @pharmanthro references that the film had been imagined as ways of relating to clouds from our rooftops, something many are doing now! #distribute2020

Discussion now centering on anthropology's role in future-making, salvaging the disappearing, and other engagements. #Distribute2020
