Ancient Caves brings science and adventure together
CINCINNATI (WXIX) – Science and adventure come together in Cincinnati Museum Center’s newest OMNIMAX® film.
“Ancient Caves” takes you alongside scientists as they seek to better understand Earth’s climate history by studying some of the world’s most hidden realms.
The film opens on Nov. 20.
“Ancient Caves takes audiences to some of the most extraordinary and beautiful places on the planet as it follows a team of researchers searching for clues hundreds of feet below the earth’s surface,” Director Jonathan Bird said in a news release. “These deep underwater caves are other-worldly, like something straight out of a sci-fi film, and audiences can expect to see things they’ve never seen before. The film has something for everyone, whether it’s adventure, science, or just pure beauty.”
Ancient Caves follows paleoclimatologist Dr. Gina Moseley on a mission to unlock the secrets of the Earth’s climate in the most unlikely of places: caves. Moseley and her team of cave explorers travel the world exploring vast underground worlds in search of stalagmite samples – geologic “fingerprints” – that reveal clues about the planet’s climate history. Their quest leads them to some of the world’s most remote caves, both above and below the water, in France, Iceland, the Bahamas, Death Valley and Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula, where they study how rapidly Earth’s climate can change, and how it has affected human civilization. Together, they go where very few humans will ever go, revealing the incredible lengths scientists will go to study the unknown.
Ancient Caves is an Oceanic Research Group Films production presented by MacGillivray Freeman Films. The film is produced with support from the Giant Dome Theater Consortium, a group of seven prestigious museums including Cincinnati Museum Center.
