On May 20 the Gregor Mendel Institute presents its 2nd "Movie Night at the GMI" for the Viennese public. This outreach event, first held in 2013 as part of EPSO's International Fascination of Plants Day, offers two superb documentaries on plants (by ARTE TV), plus a surprise English comedy on a rather different plant theme! All are welcome - but please register!

19:00 - Geheimnisvolle Pflanzen: Die Acker-Schmalwand (DE)
20:00 - Break/Pause
Part 2/Teil 2
20:30 - A classic British comedy film about “home-grown” plants! Ältere Lady in Geldnöten lässt das Gras wachsen... (EN, mit DE Untertiteln)

Eintritt frei - Anmeldung bis 15.05. unter Movie-Night@gmi.oeaw.ac.at
POST-EVENT UPDATE
Approximately 120 visitors attended the event, including three local high school classes. Both documentaries proved fascinating viewing, and surprisingly more attended the documentaries than remained for the comedy film on plants - education first! We look forward to EPSO's Fascination of Plants Day 2015!
