I just received a note that Randy Olson’s film, Flock of Dodos, will make its world premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival here in New York. For people who aren’t familiar with this film, it’s a humorous documentary that skewers both intelligent design proponents and scientists who support evolution alike—the first group for pedaling creationism as science and the latter for not doing enough to make evolution accessible to the public and for not standing up to the ID movement when it was just getting started. I interviewed Olson a few weeks back and got his thoughts on the whole thing.

From the trailer and the positive reviews it’s garnered so far, it looks to be a great film. For anyone in the city who’s interested, here’s the screening schedule:

Sunday, April 30, AV7-3, 8:30 pm—AMC Village VII, 66 Third Ave (at 11th St)
Monday, May 1, A34-09, 3:00 pm—AMC 34th St, 312 W. 34th St
Friday, May 5, A68-1, 6:00 pm—AMC 68th St, 1998 Broadway (at 68th St)
Sunday, May 7, AV7-1, 4:00 pm—AMC Village VII, 66 Third Ave (at 11th St)
