PIONEERS
A series of documentary films on popular science
DIRECTOR, WRITER, PRODUCER, EDITOR: Karol Jałochowski
PRODUCER: POLITYKA Sp. z o.o. S.K.A.
COOPERATION: Centre for Quantum Technologies, National University of Singapore
ABOUT THE SERIES
A series of documentary films on popular science under the title “Pioneers” is a one of a kind undertaking. Karol Jałochowski, the person behind the idea and the creator of all the films, reached out to the most prominent living scientists of the modern world and has created a series of popular science documentaries presenting the personalities behind the greatest minds of the twenty first century, in an unconventional way. Each episode presents the most fascinating thinkers of our time (often winners of the Noble Prize and other scientific awards), pioneers, people crossing the boundaries on their scientific fields and disciplines, working on the edge of knowledge, asking the absolutely fundamental questions - those relating the the nature of reality, the essence of the mind and free will or the relation between science and faith.
Each part of the “Pioneers” series is dedicated to one scientist and consists of an extended recording of a meeting with the protagonist at a place he selected, enhanced by materials from the archives (photos, film fragments, etc.) and private materials. The film presents a profile and views of the scientists in an unconventional way, far away from the university office or lecture hall.
DANIEL C. DENNETT - DO LOBSTERS HAVE A FREE WILL?
Daniel Dennett from Tufts University is the most important philosopher of the mind of our times, a great reformer of the field of knowledge. He is also the author of several hundred sci- entific papers and more than a dozen books. For nearly half a century he has been searching for the answer to the question: What is consciousness? What is free will? How is reality born and how does it evolve? Is faith a natural phenomenon? What are the roots of irrationalism? The film is a recording of a personal meeting with the philosopher at his home in northern New England.
