EVENTS
How Many Zombies Are
Too Many Zombies? — In
“How Many Zombies Are
Too Many Zombies?”
players take on the role
of scientists helping the
“Center for Calamity
Control” simulate a zombie
outbreak. Facilitators
introduce participants to
mathematical modeling
and the ways they can be
used to simulate, analyze
and make predictions
about the complex
real-world phenomenon.
Players help modify the
simulation by suggesting
different parameters,
such as the number of
steps zombies can take
in the Zombie Outbreak
Simulator, a turn-based
game of zombie tag. Then
participants play through
the simulation, embodying
the very parameters
they’ve chosen, while
the facilitator tracks the
population of zombies
and humans. At the
end, players see graphs
detailing the population
swings and can further
tweak parameters and see
different results through
play.

Screening & Live Event:
“Hereditary” — After
her mother passes away,
artist Annie Graham
(Toni Collette) starts to
learn mysterious and
terrifying secrets about
their ancestry. The
more she and her family
discover, the more they
find themselves trying to
outrun the sinister fate it
seems they have inherited.
A miniaturist by trade,
Annie begins to recognize
as well as seemingly cause
resonances between her
meticulously arranged
doll houses and the
suddenly embattled family
home. A familial tragedy
is transformed into
something much darker in
this psychological horror

Ari Aster.
