LONG CENTER, UT COLLEGE OF NATURAL SCIENCES, AND SANDBOX FILMS PRESENTS

REEL SCIENCE: FIREBALL

DECEMBER 10 | 7:00 P.M. | ROLLINS STUDIO THEATRE

Hear from leading researchers and experts in this film series that is a partnership with The University of Texas at Austin College of Natural Sciences. Each event will feature an in-person presentation and a science-themed documentary from Sandbox Films, the Oscar-nominated production studio that illuminates the art and beauty of scientific inquiry: humankind’s weird, messy, brilliant way of navigating the world.

Over billions of years, extraterrestrial bombardments have reshaped the very nature of our planet, causing species to perish or flourish — and perhaps even seeding the initial building blocks for life on Earth. Today we can still hear the echo of these meteor impacts, ringing through culture, mythology, and scientific research. Fireball takes viewers into the mystery at the heart of these fallen stones, exploring their origins and their impacts on civilization.

At the Long Center, we know what Austin is all about. Our musicians, artists, and creators put Austin on the map. Their work is what draws us in, keeps us here, and allows us to innovate, grow, and thrive.

Uniquely located facing the city skyline, we breathe and pulse along with the creative energy that powers it. We’re proud to bring what Austin is to communities near and far every day, on virtual stages and actual ones, through connections and community. 

Built in 2008 and with a local history that spans many more generations, we welcome you to accept this invitation from a true Austinite to be at the center of it all.
