Featuring **live music accompaniment** on Mount Wilson’s recently acquired two-rank Allen organ, these experimental short films reflect the most inventive and imaginative minds of the era, a time when some of the great discoveries – from the expansion of the universe to the first evidence of dark matter – were made right here on the mountain.
