On Tuesday, March 27, science writer David Quammen will be the featured guest of Bozeman Film Society’s celebration of a “National Evening of Science on Screen,” a nationwide event that pairs a film with an insightful presentation by a notable figure from the world of science, technology, or medicine.
Quammen’s nieces, Lily and Mae Madison, will join him for a screening of “The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension” at 7 p.m. at the Ellen Theatre.
After the film, Quammen will lead a discussion entitled “Seriosity and Beyond,” a family-friendly exploration of Planet Ten, the 8th Dimension, Buckaroo Banzai, and the “Electrode Watermelon,” where Quammen and his “generation z” nieces ask the question: Is silly sci-ence fiction any sillier or less wonderful than serious science fiction?
In W.D. Richter’s 1984 sci-fi cult classic, neurosurgeon, particle physicist, and rock ‘n’ roll-er, Buckaroo Banzai, is called upon to save the world from a hostile extraterrestrial invasion. Combining humor, imagination, and a notable cast that includes Peter Weller, John Lithgow, Ellen Barkin, Christopher Lloyd, and Jeff Goldblum, this film parodies both classic and contemporary sci-fi films.
Bozeman resident and life-long Buckaroo Banzai devotee, Quammen is an internationally acclaimed science journalist and author whose fifteen books include “The Song of the Do-do,” “The Reluctant Mr. Darwin,” and “Spillover.” He is a three-time recipient of the Na-tional Magazine Award and writes regularly for National Geographic Magazine.
Mae and Lily Madison, Quammen’s 12 and 10 year old nieces, are Montana natives who love to ski, dance, swim, watch movies and spend time with their “Uncle Quammie.” Their youthful perspectives will add a unique element to the evening.

We all are familiar with using a limited palette, but do you use one? Do you know how to use a limited palette to create different color combinations? Are you tired of carrying around 15-20 different tubes when you paint plein air? Have you ever wanted to create a certain “mood” in a painting but failed? Do you create a lot of mud? Do you struggle to achieve color harmony? All these problems are addressed in John’s workbook in clear and concise language!
Based on the bestselling “Limited Palatte, Unlimited Color” workbook written by John Pototschnik, the workshop is run by Maggie Shane and Annie McCoy, accomplished landscape (acrylic) and plein air (oil) artists,exhibitors at the Big Sky Artists’ Studio & Gallery and members of the Big Sky Artists Collective.
Each student will receive a copy of “Limited Palette, Unlimited Color” to keep and take home to continue your limited palette journey. We will show you how to use the color wheel and mix your own clean mixtures to successfully create a mood for your paintings.
Each day, we will create a different limited palette color chart and paint a version of a simple landscape using John’s directives. You will then be able to go home and paint more schemes using the book for guidance.
Workshop is open to painters (oil or acrylic) of any level although students must have some basic knowledge of the medium he or she uses. Students will be provided the book ($92 value), color wheel, value scale and canvas papers to complete the daily exercises.
Sundays, April 14, 21 and 28, 2024
Noon until 6PM.
$170.
