A Conversation with Darren Aronofsky

An event celebrating filmmaker Darren Aronofsky in Pioneer Works’s new signature series, Science vs Fiction. Hosted by the Founding Director of Sciences, astrophysicist Janna Levin, Science vs Fiction is inspired by the idea that scientific discovery and fictional world-building can be complementary. Each is driven by a love of complexity, a curiosity about the workings of the universe, and the capacity to imagine alternative realities or entirely new worlds. Step into the wilds where science and fiction, observation and fantasy, and nature and technology intertwine to spark new ideas in science and beyond.

Kari worked with the PW science team to book the guest, research and script the conversation, and produce it.
