Join us for special screening events celebrating the legacy of Sir D'Arcy Wentworth Thompson.

As today’s epic TV documentaries clearly demonstrate, Great Britain is a world leader in the field of natural history filmmaking. This pioneering role was established early on, and the collection features some of the world’s earliest natural history films. From wildlife on St Kilda to stunning experiments with stop- motion and micro-photography, these films show the extraordinary ingenuity of the David Attenboroughs of the Edwardian era.

The programme has been specially curated as part of the 150th anniversary celebrations of Dundee’s pioneer of life sciences, D’Arcy Thompson, with all of the films made during D’Arcy’s time as professor of biology at University College, Dundee. Each film will feature live musical accompaniment and commentary by museum curator and film historian Matthew Jarron and life sciences tutor Dr Keith Skene from the University of Dundee
