Through the lens of legendary filmmaker Werner Herzog, Theater of Thought takes audiences on a provocative journey into the study of the mind and consciousness, daring us to question whether we truly have autonomy over our thoughts, or if our brains will inevitably become infused with mind-controlling technology in the not so distant future. Neuroscientist Eberhard Fetz scheduled to attend for a post film Q&A at the 7:30pm screening on March 14.
